Michael Busch and Kyle Tucker went deep as the first two Cubs batters of the game Saturday evening against the Red Sox.
And then in the eighth, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Ian Happ did the same, also back-to-back. The four home runs helped the Cubs to a 6-0 victory over Boston, along with stellar pitching from Shu014dta Imanaga.
The two back-to-back home run events tied a franchise record. From BCB’s JohnW53:
With the first-inning homers by Busch and Tucker, and the eighth-inning homers by Crow-Armstrong and Happ, the Cubs have tied their team record for most back-to-back homers in a season, 12 — with 64 games to go.
