WATCH: Luis Torrens crushes three-run double to put Cubs up 10-2

Another apparent weapon for the Northsiders.

Chicago Cubs designated hitter Luis Torrens crushed a bases-clearing double to put the Cubs up 10-2 during Wednesday's game against the Oakland Athletics.

The hit was yet another example of the Cubs' potent offense this season.

The team has scored at least 10 runs in five of their first 17 games, showcasing their ability to generate runs in bunches. And Torrens' big hit on Wednesday was a key part of their offensive outburst.

The Cubs are now on the verge of a sweep over the A's, which would be a welcome boost for a team that has struggled in recent years.

With their offense firing on all cylinders and their pitching staff performing well, the Cubs could be a team to watch in the National League this season.

Check out his hit below:

The Cubs have an upcoming homestand schedule that includes games against the Dodgers and the Padres. The games against the Dodgers will take place on April 20th, 21st, 22nd, and 23rd with start times of 6:40 PM, 1:20 PM, 1:20 PM, and 1:20 PM respectively.

The Cubs will then play against the Padres on April 25th, 26th, and 27th with start times of 6:40 PM, 6:40 PM, and 1:20 PM respectively.
