Frequently Asked Questions
What franchise record did the Chicago Cubs set against the Milwaukee Brewers?
The Cubs set a new franchise record by hitting nine home runs in a single game, with Alex Bregman hitting the record-breaking ninth homer in the eighth inning against position player Andrew Vaughn. That broke the previous Cubs record for most home runs in a single game in franchise history.
How many home runs did the Cubs hit in August 2025 and why does it matter?
The Cubs hit 62 home runs in August, the most by any National League team in a single calendar month in MLB history. The record-setting month was capped off by the 17-3 blowout win over the Brewers.
Why did the Brewers put a position player on the mound against the Cubs?
With the Brewers trailing 10-2, Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy brought first baseman/DH Andrew Vaughn in to pitch the final two innings to save the bullpen. It allowed the Brewers to avoid burning their relievers in the series opener, preserving them for the rest of the series against the Cubs.
How did Kyle Harrison perform against the Cubs on Monday?
Kyle Harrison had a rough outing, giving up nine earned runs on 10 hits and surrendering five home runs in just 3.2 innings. The 25-year-old lefty entered the game with a solid 2.79 ERA in 21 starts but got lit up immediately by the Cubs' lineup.
Did Alex Bregman have a big game against the Brewers?
Bregman had his second three-homer game of August, hitting his first home run against Harrison in the second inning and then going back-to-back with Seiya Suzuki in the fourth. He also hit the record-setting ninth Cubs home run of the game in the eighth inning against Andrew Vaughn.
