Cubs Set Home Run Record in 17-3 Win

The Chicago Cubs set a franchise single-game record with nine home runs in a 17-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday night.

The Cubs' offensive explosion at Wrigley Field included three home runs from third baseman Alex Bregman, while Brewers starter Kyle Harrison allowed nine earned runs in just 3.2 innings. The performance comes during a historic August for Chicago, who have hit over 60 home runs this month.

Despite the win, the Cubs remain seven games behind the Brewers in the NL Central standings but hold a five-game cushion for the top Wild Card spot. The team's offensive surge, highlighted by Pete Crow-Armstrong's strong season, is building momentum as they approach the playoffs. playerbros.org
