Michael Busch hits another leadoff homer for the Cubs in NL Division Series against the Brewers
Michael Busch became the first player to hit multiple leadoff homers in a single postseason series, including a 401-foot shot, helping the Cubs tie Game 3 against the Brewers.
- On Oct. 8, 2025, Michael Busch, the Chicago Cubs first baseman, hit a 401-foot leadoff homer in NLDS Game 3 at Wrigley Field, becoming the first to hit multiple leadoff homers in one postseason series.
- Facing elimination, the Cubs entered a win-or-go-home Game 3 against NL Central rivals Milwaukee Brewers after scoring three or fewer runs in recent postseason games and Michael Busch hitting a leadoff homer in Game 1 on Saturday.
- On a full-count cutter from Quinn Priester, Michael Busch drove the first baseman's team-high third postseason homer deep to right-center into the front row at Wrigley Field, and the Cubs loaded the bases after.
- Pete Crow-Armstrong then hit a tiebreaking two-run single with two out, and Ian Happ scored on a wild pitch from Nick Mears.
- Having led the team with 34 homers in 2024, Busch ensured there was at least one positive entry in Chicago Cubs playoff history with his Game 3 impact.
