Pete Crow-Armstrong Shines with Three Home Runs in Cubs' Victory
In a standout performance, Chicago Cubs centerfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong hit three home runs during the team's 17-5 victory against Cincinnati on Saturday.
This achievement raised his season total to 36 home runs, surpassing his previous career-high of 31 from last season. Crow-Armstrong has also recorded 89 RBI and leads the National League in both slugging percentage at .567 and OPS at .944. Additionally, he has stolen 32 bases, making him one of the few Cubs to achieve a 30/30 season in multiple years.
Despite the Cubs trailing the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Central, they are competing for the top wild-card spot against the Philadelphia Phillies. Crow-Armstrong's three home runs make him the third Cub this season to accomplish this feat, following Alex Bregman and Dansby Swanson.
