Former Indiana great Kyle Schwarber is on a tear for the Chicago Cubs. He hit another home run Monday night to grace his name with a legend. Schwarber hit a three-run homer in the Cubs' 8-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds, his 37th of the year.

That ties him with Cubs Hall of Famer Billy Williams for the most home runs by a left-handed batter since Williams hit 37 in 1972.

Schwarber has been on a tear lately in trying to keep the Cubs in the National League Central division race. He's hit homers on back-to-back days and his hit 13 homers since Aug. 4.

The Cubs are currently two games behind the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL Central race, and in the wild-card race, the Cubs are a half-game behind the Washington Nationals for the top spot, but just one game ahead of the Milwaukee Brewers.
