Cubs' Alex Bregman Continues Second-Half Surge with First Career 3-Homer Game
Alex Bregman's torrid hitting streak since the All-Star break includes a three-homer game with seven RBIs, his second multi-homer performance in six games, according to reports.
- On Wednesday, Chicago Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman hit three home runs to lead his team to a 12-6 victory over the Washington Nationals, marking the first three-homer game of his career.
- Bregman and major league development assistant Ben Martin analyzed years of swing video to correct his mechanics, with late-night study sessions proving crucial to his recent resurgence at the plate.
- The slugger launched a three-run blast off reliever Jake Bird in the fifth inning, followed by a two-run shot against Yovanny Cruz and a final two-run homer off Trevor Williams in the eighth, driving in seven RBIs for a career high.
- Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Bregman "definitely drove the bus today," as the 71-50 Cubs remain 3.0 games behind the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central standings on Thursday morning.
- Since July 27, Bregman has recorded 26 hits and six homers over 16 games, becoming the only Cubs player since 1900 to record three homers and multiple walks in a single game.
