The Chicago Cubs' offense over the last 8 games: 98 hits 80 runs 43 XBH 18 SB 14 HR No other team in MLB history has reached all of those numbers over an 8-game span.
Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers has homered and stolen a base in the same game 6 times this month. That's the most such games by any player in any single month in MLB history.
Corbin Carroll's 8th-inning double for the Arizona Diamondbacks snapped his streak of 21 consecutive XBH that were either triples or home runs. The 21 straight XBH being triples or homers was the longest streak in MLB since Roger Maris had 22 straight in 1961 - all of which were home runs.
Alabama (Alabama Football) has won 77 straight home games against unranked opponents, the longest streak by any FBS team since Nebraskaβs 97-game stretch that started in 1979 and ended in 1998.
In August, the Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani hit 12 home runs. He also stole 15 bases without being caught. No other player in MLB history has had both a 12+ homer month and a month going 15-for-15 or better on steals over the course of his entire career (let alone in the same month).
Tetairoa McMillan of Arizona Football is the first player in FBS history to have a game with: 10+ receptions 300+ receiving yards 30.0+ yards per reception 4+ receiving TD

Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers leads the AL in wins (16), ERA (2.51) and strikeouts (201). Chris Sale of the Atlanta Braves leads the NL in wins (16), ERA (2.46) and strikeouts (206). There has never been a season where a left-handed pitcher won the Triple Crown in both the AL and NL.
Both the Houston Astros & New York Mets have gone from 11 games under .500 to 11 games over .500 this season. The only other seasons in MLB history where multiple teams did this were 2005 (Astros/Athletics) and 1916 (Browns/Giants).
