The Chicago Cubs set a new franchise record by hitting nine home runs in a single game during a National League Central clash with their rivals, the Milwaukee Brewers. Third baseman Alex Bregman led the assault with three home runs of his own, as Chicago's tally matched the second-highest total by any team in a single Major League Baseball game. The result underlined the Cubs' offensive form as they push through a strong stretch of the season against a divisional rival.

The barrage began after starter Clay Holmes threw a scoreless first inning, with Tyrone Taylor, Nico Hoerner, Seiya Suzuki, Carson Kelly, Matt Shaw and Michael Conforto all also going deep alongside Bregman's trio. Milwaukee eventually turned to position player Andrew Vaughn to pitch, but the Cubs kept hitting regardless. The nine home runs pushed Chicago's August total to 62, a new National League record for the month, surpassing the 2023 Atlanta Braves' 61 and edging closer to the all-time mark of 74 set by the 2019 New York Yankees. The win also extended a run of historic milestones for the team, including becoming only the fourth side in MLB history to record four individual three-home-run games in a single season.
