Cubs break all-time franchise record with 9-home-run game vs. Brewers

The Chicago Cubs set an all-time franchise record by hitting nine home runs in a 17-3 blowout victory against the Milwaukee Brewers. Alex Bregman led the historic offensive onslaught at Wrigley Field by launching three home runs. Six additional players contributed to the record-breaking total, including Seiya Suzuki, Tyrone Taylor, Nico Hoerner, Carson Kelly, Matt Shaw, and Michael Conforto. The explosive performance capped a massive month for Chicago, bringing their August home run total to 62—the second-most by any team in a single calendar month in National League history. Cubs starting pitcher Clay Holmes earned the win after tossing six scoreless innings, limiting the National League Central-leading Brewers to just five hits. Milwaukee starter Kyle Harrison absorbed the loss after yielding nine runs over three and two-thirds innings, while position-player pitcher Andrew Vaughn surrendered three late home runs. The nine longballs match the second-most by a single team in a Major League Baseball game.
