Today in Cubs history: The Cubs set a postseason home run record against the Cardinals

The Phillies defeated the Braves 10-2 in Game 3 of their Division Series Wednesday in Philadelphia. In so doing they hit six home runs: Two each by Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos and one by Trea Turner and Brandon Marsh.

In so doing, the Phillies tied a postseason record that was set by the Cubs in Game 3 of their Division Series against the Cardinals in 2015. That happened eight years ago today, Monday, October 12, 2015, and the Cubs, like the Phillies, put themselves one win away from the NLCS with their 8-6 win.

Here, lightly edited, is my game recap from eight years ago.
