Bregman Shines with Three Homers as Cubs Defeat Nationals
On August 13, 2026, Alex Bregman delivered an impressive performance, hitting three home runs to help the Cubs secure a win against the Nationals. The game saw Bregman cap a four-run rally in the fifth inning with a three-run homer and later add two more runs in the sixth and eighth innings, marking his first career three-homer game.
The Cubs initially struggled against Nationals pitcher Jackson Kent, who was making his major league debut, but turned the game around with a strong offensive showing. Bregman's performance contributed to his outstanding August stats, which include five home runs and 14 RBIs.
Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Rays completed a successful road trip, finishing with a perfect 9-0 record after sweeping the Rockies, Mariners, and Athletics. This achievement has positioned them at the top of the league standings with a record of 74-46, leading the Brewers by half a game and extending their lead over the Yankees in the AL East.
In a separate event, the Phillies and Twins are set to play in Dyersville, Iowa, reviving the Field of Dreams tradition that began in 2021. This matchup will be broadcast on Netflix.
