Chicago Cubs Duo Records Historic 50+ RBIs Before June

Several MLB duos have made historic offensive contributions this season, highlighting the power and productivity of teammates early in the year. The Detroit Tigers' Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene became the first pair in franchise history with 13+ home runs and 40+ RBIs each before June, helping the Tigers lead the American League. Similarly, the Chicago Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong and Seiya Suzuki achieved a rare feat in May by each recording at least 7 home runs and 27 RBIs, a milestone last reached by Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau in 2009. Suzuki and Crow-Armstrong further set themselves apart by becoming just the third duo in the live-ball era to each have 50 or more RBIs before June, joining elite company from the early 2000s. Complementing their offensive firepower, the Cubs have also benefited from standout pitching performances, including Drew Pomeranz and Ben Brown shutting out the Cincinnati Reds with dominant outings. Veteran Ian Happ has added value with timely hitting, contributing to the Cubs' strong overall offensive and defensive efforts this season.
