Cubs Sweep Dodgers with Crow-Armstrong's Power
In a thrilling matchup on Wednesday afternoon, Pete Crow-Armstrong hit two home runs and a double, leading the Chicago Cubs to a 7-6 victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers, thus completing a three-game sweep.
Despite Shohei Ohtani's two homers and a single, the Cubs took control in the second inning and maintained their lead throughout the game. Nico Hoerner contributed three hits, an RBI, and a run, while Carson Kelly also had three hits. Cubs pitcher Shota Imanaga allowed only one run over five innings, striking out six.
The Dodgers, who have now lost six consecutive games, initially scored first with Ohtani's 25th home run of the season. However, Crow-Armstrong quickly tied the game and later extended the Cubs' lead. Los Angeles made a late push with five runs in the eighth inning, but Jacob Webb secured the win with a scoreless ninth.
