Dansby Swanson went 3-for-5 with 3 home runs and 8 RBI on July 1, 2026, posting the highest score in The Game Network Performance Index across 14 games that day. His was the only 3-home run performance in the majors on that date.
The Chicago Cubs defeated the San Diego Padres 23-3 at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois. Swanson's 8 RBI accounted for more than a third of the team's run total in the blowout victory.
Swanson reached base three times in five plate appearances, connecting for three home runs — the lone multi-home run performance of that magnitude in the majors on July 1. No other batter in the 14 games played that day matched the combination of power and production he put together.
Through 83 games in the 2026 season, Swanson has appeared in 83 contests, recording 58 hits in 281 at-bats for a .206 average and an OPS of .724. He has 16 home runs, 57 RBI, 55 runs scored, and 10 stolen bases. July 1 marked his third daily top performance of the 2026 season.
