One swing by Ian Happ set Cubs and MLB record

The Cubs made MLB and franchise history on Wednesday night.

Ian Happ belted his 20th home run of the season against the Pittsburgh Pirates, which made the Cubs the first team in MLB history to have five players hit 20 or more homers at the age of 25 or younger in a single season.

Check out the record-setting dinger at Wrigley Field:

The previous record was four, held by the 2007 Milwaukee Brewers and 1979 Montreal Expos, according to CSN stats guru Chris Kamka.

The Cubs also set a franchise record by having six players with 20 or more home runs this season: Anthony Rizzo (30), Kris Bryant (24), Kyle Schwarber (22), Willson Contreras (21), Javier Baez (20), and Happ (20).

In case you were wondering, the next Cubs player(s) to 20 home runs are Addison Russell and Ben Zobrist, who have 10.
