Cubs Set Franchise Record With 9 Home Runs in 17-3 Win Over Brewers

The Chicago Cubs set a franchise record with nine home runs in a 17-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field on August 31, 2026, capping a historic month of power hitting. The win opened a crucial four-game series against their National League Central rivals. Seven different Cubs players homered in the rout, with third baseman Alex Bregman leading the charge by hitting three of them. The nine home runs surpassed the previous team record and marked only the fifth time in Major League Baseball history that a club has hit nine or more in a single game. The performance came on the heels of a record-setting August, during which the Cubs slugged 62 home runs, a franchise and National League record for a single month. Bregman’s three-homer game was his second of the month, making him the first Cubs player to accomplish that feat in a single calendar month since Aramis Ramirez in 2004. He and teammate Pete Crow-Armstrong also became the first pair of Cubs to each hit 12 home runs in a calendar month in more than 25 years. Crow-Armstrong, who is in the midst of an MVP-caliber season, has been a central figure in the team’s offensive surge.
