Pete Crow-Armstrong continues NL MVP push with 2 more homers for Chicago Cubs
Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong is bolstering his chances for National League MVP honors with two more home runs in Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The 24-year-old All-Star hit a 435-foot drive to right-center in the first inning, his eighth career leadoff homer this season, and followed up with a two-run shot off the foul pole in right in the second.
Crow-Armstrong, who is batting .303 with nine homers and 31 RBIs against left-handed pitchers this season, also singled and scored in the fourth inning against left-hander Andrew Abbott. With Shohei Ohtani sidelined due to injuries, Crow-Armstrong is closing in on the NL MVP title, aiming to dethrone Ohtani, who has won the award for the last two years.
