Cubs Set Home Run Record In 17-3 Win Over Brewers

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

The Cubs' offensive explosion at Wrigley Field featured seven of nine starters hitting home runs, with third baseman Alex Bregman leading the charge with three long balls. Brewers starter Kyle Harrison struggled, allowing nine earned runs in just 3.2 innings.

The performance comes amid a strong August where the Cubs have hit over 60 home runs. While remaining seven games behind the first-place Brewers in the NL Central, Chicago holds a comfortable five-game cushion for the top Wild Card spot with their offense firing on all cylinders. catcross.biz
