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 at Wrigley Field.

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' historic night comes after a productive August in which they hit over 60 home runs as a team.

Despite the convincing win, the Cubs remain seven games behind the Brewers in the NL Central standings. However, they hold a five-game cushion for the top Wild Card spot, with their offense building momentum that could make them a dangerous playoff contender. cricket-ipl.co.za
