Cubs Set Franchise Record With 9 Home Runs in Rout of Brewers
CHICAGO – Alex Bregman hit three of Chicago's franchise-record nine home runs as the Cubs defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 17-3 on Monday night at Wrigley Field.
Clay Holmes pitched six scoreless innings for the Cubs, who launched five homers off Milwaukee starter Kyle Harrison in the first four innings and three more against position player Andrew Vaughn late in the game.
The nine home runs are the most the Cubs have ever hit in a single game, according to Baseball Reference's Stathead tool. It is only the fifth time in MLB history a team has hit nine or more home runs in a single game, with the Toronto Blue Jays holding the record with 10 in a game in 1987.
Seven different Cubs players homered in the game. Bregman's three home runs highlighted the outburst.
According to Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune, Bregman and Pete Crow-Armstrong became the first pair of Cubs teammates to each hit 12 home runs in a calendar month, and the first pair of teammates to achieve that feat in more than 25 years. Bregman is also the first Cubs player to have two or more three-home-run games in a single month since Aramis Ramirez in 2004.
The Cubs finished August with 62 home runs, a team record for a single month and a National League record, trailing only the New York Yankees, who hit 74 in August 2019.
The Cubs continue their series against the Brewers on Tuesday night at Wrigley Field, with first pitch set for 6:40 m.

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
