Cubs' Bregman Continues Second-Half Surge with First Career 3-Homer Game

Alex Bregman set career highs with three homers and seven RBIs as the Cubs moved within three games of the division lead.

  • On Wednesday, Chicago Cubs designated hitter Alex Bregman hit three home runs and drove in seven RBIs, leading the visiting Cubs to a 12-6 victory over the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park.
  • Bregman refined his mechanics by reviewing KinaTrax data and old video with Chicago Cubs assistant director of major-league development Ben Martin to align his shoulder and hip movements.
  • Scoring four runs with two outs on Wednesday, the Cubs reached an MLB-leading 241 two-out runs this season, maintaining their pursuit of the Milwaukee Brewers.
  • Bregman and shortstop Dansby Swanson became the third pair of teammates since 1920 to each record a three-home-run, seven-RBI game in one season, matching feats by New York Yankees pairs.
  • Manager Craig Counsell emphasized the team's professional approach, stating, "It's a 162-game season, and you can't fake it," as the Cubs aim for a sweep on Thursday.
