Michael Busch hit three home runs, leading the Chicago Cubs to an impressive 11-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals at Wrigley Field. This display of power set a club record with a total of eight home runs in the game, eclipsing their previous record of seven homers in a game.

Busch became the first Cubs first baseman to achieve three home runs in a single game since the iconic Ernie Banks in 1963. The Cubs launched six home runs in the first three innings alone, with notable contributions from Seiya Suzuki, Pete Crow-Armstrong, and Carson Kelly, alongside Busch's performance. The Cubs' remarkable offensive display was a feast for fans, celebrating Independence Day in style.
