CHICAGO - Though he's only playing in his eighth career postseason game, Cubs rookie slugger Kyle Schwarber already has a franchise record. With an opposite-field home run in the first inning of NLCS Game 3 against the Mets, Schwarber now has five postseason homers.

Here's the blast in Game 3, which tied it up, 1-1.

Five postseason home runs in a career is a Cubs record. Seriously.

Here's the new leaderboard:

1. Schwarber, 5
2. Aramis Ramirez, 4
2. Alex Gonzalez, 4
4. Frank Demaree, 3
5. 10 players tied with 2 (includes current Cubs Jorge Soler and Anthony Rizzo)

Beyond that, Schwarber also passed Miguel Cabrera for most homers in a single postseason by a player age 22 or younger.

Schwarber, 22, owned a .409/.458/1.091 postseason line after his first at-bat in Game 3 on Tuesday. He hit 16 homers in 232 regular-season at-bats.
