The Chicago Cubs set a franchise single-game record with nine home runs in a 17-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field. Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman led the charge with three home runs, while Brewers starter Kyle Harrison allowed nine earned runs in just 3.2 innings.
The Cubs' offensive explosion continues their historic August, during which they have hit over 60 home runs. With seven of nine Cubs starters going deep against the Brewers, Chicago remains seven games behind the Brewers in the NL Central but holds a comfortable five-game cushion over the Arizona Diamondbacks and San Diego Padres for the top Wild Card spot. catcrossgame.com
