Pete Crow-Armstrong went absolutely nuclear at Wrigley Field on Wednesday, powering the Cubs past the Dodgers in a wild 7–6 finish.
Pete Crow-Armstrong had one of those nights you'll be talking about for weeks. The young Cubs outfielder went 3-for-5 with 2 home runs, a double, 4 RBI, and 2 runs scored as Chicago took down the red-hot Los Angeles Dodgers 7–6. The Dodgers came into the game sitting at 69–46 in the NL West — one of the best records in all of baseball — but Crow-Armstrong made sure they left the Windy City empty-handed.
The Cubs are now 66–49 and remain firmly in second place in the NL Central, just 5 games behind the Brewers (71–43), who are running away with the division. Every win matters for Chicago as they try to lock up a playoff spot, and Crow-Armstrong's monster game was exactly the kind of heroic performance that could fuel a second-half push. The Dodgers still lead the NL West and will be back in action, but Wednesday night belonged to the North Side of Chicago.
Fun stat alert: Crow-Armstrong's 2-homer, 4-RBI night is the kind of statline that shows up on a Baseball Card for life. For the Cubs and their fans, Wednesday was a W worth celebrating — and it only cost them one game against baseball's best team. Keep an eye on this kid, Jacob — he's the real deal!
Wednesday was a massive day on the diamond with 15 games played across the majors. Three of them went to extra innings, there were dominant pitching performances, and the Nationals dropped a jaw-dropping 10 runs on the Phillies in 11 innings. Let's run through every result!
Wednesday was a great day to be a pitcher! Five starters really stood out with near-perfect outings. Kansas City's N. Cameron went an impressive 8 innings, allowing just 1 earned run on 2 hits while striking out 9 Twins — that's a gem! Arizona's M. Bratt was unhittable with 7 scoreless innings, 1 hit allowed, and 9 strikeouts against San Diego. Milwaukee's K. Harrison fanned 10 Pirates in just 5 innings without giving up a single earned run, and Seattle's B. Woo cruised through 7 shutout frames. Boston's S. Gray also fired 6 innings of shutout ball against Chicago, striking out 8. What a night for the pitching staff across the league!
