Swanson Shatters Cubs RBI Record

Dansby Swanson just rewrote Cubs history with an insane 11-RBI doubleheader against the Mets, smashing franchise records and tying for third all-time in MLB for RBIs in a single doubleheader. He crushed a three-run homer and grand slam in Game 1, then added a go-ahead triple in Game 2 — putting him in elite company with Hall of Famers Ron Santo and Billy Williams. Through three games, he’s already racked up 15 RBIs, the most by any Cubs player in a short series since 1920 and the most by any Chicago player since 1932. He’s also broken shortstop records, surpassing Nomar Garciaparra’s 1999 mark. After a rough stretch where his average dipped and he struggled to drive in runs, this explosion proves his resilience — and it’s exactly what the Cubs needed. Swanson’s still on pace for his career-high in RBIs and is trending toward his usual homer total, even if his batting average is down. His manager says it’s been a season of ups and downs — but these big performances are the kind that carry teams. Baseball’s wild — one day you’re slumping, the next you’re rewriting history.
