Bregman rocks, Stock blocks
Top Stories
- 3B Alex Bregman (Cubs) blasted three home runs in a 17-3 win over the Brewers on August 31, the second such game that month. The performance capped a blockbuster August in which the 32-year-old batted .296/.364/.661 with 12 homers and an MLB-high 30 RBIs. Bregman, who had never hit three home runs in a game prior to August, became only the seventh player in MLB history to record two three-homer games in a single month—and the first since Adam Duvall in September 2020—according to ESPN Research. (Thanks to reader Ethel H. for the ESPN stat.) He finished August with four multi-homer games. Before August, he had just 11 homers and 47 RBIs since signing a five-year, $175 million contract with Chicago in the offseason, production that drew occasional boos from Chicago fans. By contrast, the Chicago Sun-Times wrote on August 21 that “Bregman is now causing deliriously happy pandemonium” and has solidified his reputation as a behind-the-scenes asset to teammates. The 2024 Gold Glove winner also keeps producing difficult plays in the field, such as making a diving stop and throwing out Jose Trevino from a seated position on August 29 (9/1/2026)
- RHP Robert Stock (Mets) dominated the first-place Rays in a 3-2 win on August 31, tossing 5.1 scoreless innings while allowing five hits and no walks, striking out four, and averaging only 14 pitches per inning. The outing earned Stock his first MLB win since 2019. His emergence as a major-league starter is improbable: the 36-year-old did not pitch in the majors from 2022 through 2024, and 54 of his 57 MLB appearances before 2026 came in relief (9/1/2026)
