Michael Busch went 4-for-5 with a homer and a double in leading the Cubs to a 10-4 defeat of the Dodgers on Monday.
Busch’s opposite-field homer off Walker Buehler was hit just 339 feet and would have been an out in most ballparks, but it was to the right part of the Dodger Stadium. It was Busch’s first homer since Aug. 7 and 17th of the year. He finished with three RBI and three runs scored to go along with his four hits. He matched his career high in all three of those categories. In fact, he had reached each of those totals just once previously, all in different games this year (three RBI on Apr. 7, four hits on July 9 and three runs scored on July 11).
