Chicago went back-to-back twice, in the first inning and the
fourth.
The nine longballs matched the second-most by one team in a
major league game, according to Sportradar. Toronto hit 10
during an 18-3 victory over Baltimore on Sept. 14, 1987.
Chicago finished August with 62 home runs, second-most by a big
league club in a calendar month behind the 74 hit by the New
York Yankees in August 2019.
Milwaukee holds a seven-game lead in the NL Central over the
Cubs with six meetings remaining this season, including three
more in this series at Wrigley Field.
Holmes (6-6) allowed five hits, striking out eight and walking
two. He has given up only five runs in five starts since joining
the Cubs in a trade-deadline deal with the New York Mets.
Bregman’s second three-homer game in three weeks gave him 23 on
the year.
The nine home runs were also the most allowed by the Brewers
this season.
Tyrone Taylor and Nico Hoerner hit back-to-back homers off
Harrison in the first, and Bregman connected in the second.
Seiya Suzuki and Bregman went back-to-back in the fourth, the
Cubs’ eighth set of back-to-back homers this season.
Harrison (10-4) had permitted only two earned runs in 12
previous innings against the Cubs this year, but he gave up nine
runs on 10 hits in 3 2/3 innings Monday as his season ERA spiked
from 2.79 to 3.45.
Cooper Pratt hit a two-run homer for Milwaukee off Ryan Rolison
in the seventh to break up Chicago's shutout bid. Carson Kelly
answered in the bottom half when he connected off reliever DL
Hall for his 10th of the season.
Vaughn, a first baseman, allowed seven runs and nine hits over
two innings while throwing 45 mph knuckleballs. He served up
homers to Matt Shaw, Michael Conforto and Bregman.
At the plate, Vaughn had an RBI single in the eighth.
