Only the Yankees (16,350) and Giants (14,804) have hit more.
The Cubs have hit at least 1 homer in as many as
17 consecutive games. They have homered in at least
10 straight games
5 games in a row.
Intriguingly, neither have the Braves, who had hit the fourth most total homers, 14,047.
Nor have the Dodgers, Phillies or Reds. That makes 5 of the 8 National League teams that existed before 1962. The record for all 5 teams is 5.
...
On the other hand, the Padres had a streak of 6 by Graig Nettles in 1984.
Morgan Ensberg homered in 6 straight games for the Astros in 2006, when they still were in the NL.
