Busch finished 4 for 4 with five RBIs. Crow-Armstrong also went 4 for 4, and Dansby Swanson launched a two-run homer during a Cubs power barrage that had the crowd of 40,038 at Wrigley Field roaring.
Seiya Suzuki and Carson Kelly added solo shots as the NL Central leaders hit six homers in the first three innings off Miles Mikolas (4-6), a record for most home runs off a Cardinals pitcher in one game. The eight longballs allowed by St. Louis also broke a club mark.
Brendan Donovan led off the fourth with a home run against Colin Rea, ending a 31-inning scoreless streak for the Cardinals. St. Louis, which dropped its fourth straight, was shut out in its three previous losses.

When the Falcons used the No. 8 overall pick on a running back in the 2023 NFL Draft, some thought he could be the RB1 overall in his rookie season. After finishing as RB3 last year, that seems like a more realistic opportunity this year, so if you are lucky enough to have the No. 1 overall pick in your 2025 Fantasy football draft, […]
