cubs break franchise record with 8 home runs 3 by michael busch

Michael Busch and the Chicago Cubs turned their holiday into a home run.

Eight of them, to be exact.

Busch hit three longballs, Pete Crow-Armstrong connected twice and the Cubs went deep a franchise-record eight times to hammer the St. Louis Cardinals 11-3 on Friday for their fourth straight victory.

"It was just a fun game to be a part of," Busch said. "Baseball is kind of a July Fourth kind of deal and especially to do it in Wrigley Field and have just so much excitement in the game - that was one I'll never forget."

The fireworks started long before sunset in front of 40,038 fans at Wrigley.
