The Chicago Cubs ran wild on the basepaths against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night, accomplishing a feat they haven’t accomplished in more than 100 years.
The Cubs hit eight bases against the Pirates and took advantage of a rough day behind the plate for Yasmani Grandal.
Pete Crow-Armstong led the charge with three stolen bases, giving him 26 on the season. Ian Happ also stole two bases in the game, while Seiya Suzuki, Nico Hoerner and Cody Bellinger all got in on the fun.
According to Stathead, the Cubs had not stolen eight bases in a single game since 1911, when they accomplished the feat on three separate occasions.
The team’s all-time record for stolen bases in a single game is 10, while the MLB record for stolen bases in a single game is 15. That mark was set by the 1911 New York Yankees, according to the website.
Since MLB instituted limits on pickoff attempts and major bases, three teams have stolen at least eight bases in a game prior to today. Before that, only seven teams since 2000 had done so.
