Pete Crow-Armstrong Shines with Three Homers in Cubs' Victory

Pete Crow-Armstrong delivered an impressive performance for the Chicago Cubs, hitting three home runs in a 17-5 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. This game took place as part of the Cubs' celebration of their 150th anniversary as a National League franchise.

Crow-Armstrong's achievement came after a pregame interaction with former Cubs star Sammy Sosa, who encouraged him to aim for three homers. With this performance, Crow-Armstrong raised his season total to 38 home runs, placing him second in the majors, just behind Kyle Schwarber of the Philadelphia Phillies.

In addition to his home runs, Crow-Armstrong has also recorded 32 stolen bases this season. Meanwhile, Shohei Ohtani, his main competitor for the National League MVP title, is facing challenges due to knee inflammation that has sidelined him from pitching since early July.
