Did the Chicago Cubs hit a franchise-record nine home runs in one game?
Verdict
True
Verification confidence
High
Yes. The Chicago Cubs hit nine home runs in a 17-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers, establishing a new single-game franchise record.
MLB's official report says Alex Bregman hit three of the nine home runs, with six other Cubs players also homering. Reuters independently reported the same result and record.
The nine home runs were also tied for the second-highest total by one team in a Major League game since at least 1900. The overall MLB record remains 10, set by the Toronto Blue Jays in 1987.
Key takeaway
Nine home runs set a Cubs record, but not the overall Major League Baseball record.
