New Chicago Cubs Duo Contending With Numbers By Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo in 2016

Chicago Cubs

The power-hitting duo of Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo became known as “Bryzzo,” as they helped the Chicago Cubs win their first World Series in 108 years back in 2016. The two All-Stars typically batted next to each other in the lineup, with Bryant winning the NL MVP and Rizzo earning the Gold Glove award at first base. Cubs fans may have to come up with a catchy nickname for their new, emerging duo. On Sunday, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Seiya Suzuki became the first Cubs duo since Bryant and Rizzo in 2016 to each hit 20-plus home runs before the All-Star break.
