Delivers key hit Wednesday Busch went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.

Impact Busch had half of the Cubs' four hits as a team, including the key hit of the game, a three-run double in the bottom of the third inning that erased a 1-0 Milwaukee lead. The Chicago first baseman is only batting .185 this month, though he is now riding a modest three-game hitting streak, with extra-base knocks in his last two contests. Busch should remain Chicago's primary leadoff hitter against righties.

Goes deep again Thursday Busch went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Busch finished the series in Toronto with home runs on consecutive days, and he now has a career-high 24 long balls for the season along with a career-high 68 RBI. The first baseman gives the Cubs a powerful bat atop the lineup against righties, and while he doesn't offer a ton of speed on the bases, Busch has settled in as an effective albeit unconventional leadoff hitter.

Off to slow start in August Across nine games this month, Busch is slashing just .133/.161/.267 with a 32 percent strikeout rate.

Impact Outside of a nice game Saturday where Busch went 2-for-5 with a double and a home run, the first baseman has gone just 2-for-25 with nine strikeouts in August. Busch's overall slash line is a much healthier .263/.348/.500, and the 27-year-old should receive ample opportunities to turn things around as Chicago's primary leadoff hitter against right-handed pitching. He has a robust .921 OPS against righties this season.
