Javier Baez And The Cubs Tie All-Time Franchise Record

-

Javier Baez came through at the most important time to deliver his 20th home run of the season on Friday, when he helped the Chicago Cubs secure a win over the Toronto Blue Jays and also tied a franchise record.

Baez became the fifth Cubs player to reach the 20 home run milestone this season, matching a franchise record set three previous years. The last was in 2008.

The home run came in the eighth inning and expanded the Cubs lead to 7-4.

Baez joined Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Willson Contreras and Kyle Schwarber in the 20 home run club this year.

The Cubs have a good shot at setting a new mark for this feat, as rookie Ian Happ currently has 17 home runs.
