Dansby Swanson exploded for 11 RBIs in a doubleheader, setting a Cubs record that eclipses Ron Santo’s 10‑RBI mark from 1970. The 10‑5 win over the Mets capped a sweep, while a three‑run homer and a grand slam in the opener produced a 10‑3 victory. Swanson’s performance ranks third‑most doubleheader RBI total ever.

With 15 RBIs in the first three games, Swanson tops the Cubs’ all‑time list for a four‑game stretch and ties Kiki Cuyler’s 1932 record for most in any series. His 15‑RBI burst also breaks Nomar Garciaparra’s shortstop mark of 14 from 1999. The surge snapped a slump that had him batting .178 over 48 games.

Swanson’s season average sits at .202 with a .688 OPS, below his career marks of .251/.732. Yet through 80 games he has 11 homers and 46 RBIs, edging closer to a fifth 20‑homer season and a career‑high of 96 RBIs set in 2022. Managers credit his consistency and persistence for the team’s offensive lift.

Cubs manager Craig Counsell praised Swanson’s “incredible day of baseball offensively.” Swanson, who entered Tuesday at .178, now drives the lineup with power and run production. The doubleheader record and series sweep underscore Chicago’s offensive resurgence, giving the team a decisive edge as the season progresses.
