Alex belts 3 HRs
Top Stories
- 3B Alex Bregman (Cubs) had quite a two-day stretch last week, and the Nationals were victims both times. On August 11, he went 2-for-4 with a walk and a solo HR in an 8-6 win over Washington, sending a 97.5 mph sinker into the left-field seats. A day later, Breggy hit three HRs for the first time in his 11-year career, finishing 3-for-3 with two walks and a career-high seven RBIs in Chicago’s 12-6 victory over Washington. Bregman is just the fifth player in MLB history to have 3+ home runs, 7+ RBIs, and 2+ walks in a single game. Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson (California Angels) was the first to accomplish the feat, in 1986. He was the 11th major leaguer to hit 3 HRs this season, doing so in his 1,343rd game. But Cardinals rookie Joshua Báez overshadowed him three days later in his MLB debut—at Chicago’s Wrigley Field, no less. Báez launched the first pitch he saw 449 feet for a home run, then added two more to become the first player in modern MLB history to hit three HRs in his debut game
