Cubs Set Franchise Record with Nine Home Runs in Victory Over Brewers
In a dominant performance, the Chicago Cubs defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 17-3, setting a franchise record with nine home runs on Monday night.
Alex Bregman led the charge with three home runs, while Clay Holmes contributed by pitching six scoreless innings. The Cubs hit five homers off Brewers starter Kyle Harrison in the first four innings and added three more against position player Andrew Vaughn later in the game.
This achievement ties for the second-most home runs by a team in a single major league game, following the Toronto Blue Jays' ten homers in 1987. The Cubs concluded August with a total of 62 home runs, the second-highest monthly total in MLB history, trailing only the New York Yankees' 74 in August 2019.
