Pete Crow-Armstrong put on an absolute SHOW at Wrigley Field on Wednesday, going 3-for-4 with two home runs, a triple, three RBI, and three runs scored as the Chicago Cubs blew past the Atlanta Braves 8–4. That's basically a one-man wrecking crew in a single game!
The Cubs needed a big performance with the NL Central race heating up. Chicago sits at 85–68 on the season — 8.5 games back from the Brewers, who are running away with the division at 95–57. Every win matters for the Cubs as they chase a playoff spot, and PCA delivered in a big way. The Braves fell to 89–64, still comfortably in front in the NL East.
It was one of those nights where everything Crow-Armstrong touched turned to gold. Two moonshots plus a bullet triple? The Wrigley crowd was going absolutely bananas. If you're a Cubs fan, you were definitely doing a happy dance in your living room last night!
