Have yourself a week, Ben Zobrist.

The Chicago Cubs utility man extended his red-hot stretch with a pair of long home runs off Washington Nationals starter Max Scherzer in the Cubs' 8-6 win Friday.

In addition to logging his sixth career multi-homer game, the 34-year-old also knocked in four runs to give him 11 RBIs in his last three games, and 14 in his last five. He's also the first Cubs player to have three consecutive games of at least three RBIs since Sammy Sosa in 2003, according to CSN Chicago's Christopher Kamka.

Zobrist came into Friday's game hitting .313/.316/.750 since Monday.
