Cubs Smash Records in Explosive August | Chicago Cubs News

Alex Bregman just hit his second three-home-run game of the month, as the Chicago Cubs unleash a historic offensive surge that’s turning heads across MLB. In one wild August, they blasted nine homers in a single game against the Brewers — setting a franchise record — and finished the month with 62 homers, the second-most in MLB history and a new National League mark. This isn’t luck — it’s consistency: every batter stepping up, crushing fastballs, building leads early, and keeping opponents guessing. Bregman joins elite company as one of only four Cubs to hit multiple three-homer games in a season, while he and Pete Crow-Armstrong are rewriting history, becoming the first teammates since Maris and Mantle to deliver this kind of power and run production in a single month. Behind them, pitching has held strong, led by Clay Holmes’ dominant recent stretch, keeping runs off the board and giving the offense room to breathe. With playoff positioning still on the line — especially against the Brewers in a crucial stretch — the Cubs are proving they’re not just flashy, they’re built for contention.
