As Kris Bryant had a magical night, his fiancée was at the Happiest Place on Earth.
Bryant became the first person to ever hit three homers and two doubles in the same game. The Cubs third baseman went 5-for-5 with four runs and notched six RBIs as the Cubs downed the Reds, 11-8, Monday night at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati.
The slugger's performance was so notable that it nearly made starting pitcher Jake Arrieta's second homer of the season an afterthought.
Bryant also almost had a rare curtain call on the road, but decided to stick to his ethics.
"Guys were pushing me," Bryant said, according to ESPN. "I've never been the type to show up the opponent or anybody. I don't think that's ever happened in baseball, and I didn't want to be the first. I'm glad there were a lot of Cubs fans here, but I'm not that guy."
Bryant, 24, now ranks second in the majors and tied for first in the National League with 21 homers, while he upped his RBI total to 57, which places him fifth overall in the MLB and third in the NL.
The victory for the Cubs snapped a two-game losing streak. While Bryant and the Chicago franchise moved on to Cincinnati for their three-game set with the Reds, it seems his fiancée, Jessica Delp, stayed behind in Florida.
The Cubs dropped two of three to the Marlins over the weekend and it appears Delp stayed back to enjoy Miami and then go to Disney World in Orlando, judging by her Instagram:

Bryant, the 2015 NL Rookie of the Year, got engaged to Delp back in December, capping off a memorable 2015 for the slugger. It seems 2016 might just be even better.
