Pete Crow-Armstrong continues NL MVP push with 3 more homers for Chicago Cubs
Chicago Cubs star Pete Crow-Armstrong is adding to his case for the NL MVP award. Crow-Armstrong has homered three times against the Cincinnati Reds.
CHICAGO (AP) — Pete Crow-Armstrong had three home runs and six RBIs on Saturday, bolstering his case for NL MVP and leading the Chicago Cubs to a 17-5 win over the Cincinnati Reds at Wrigley Field. The 24-year-old center fielder, who had four hits and scored four times, was praised by manager Craig Counsell. Crow-Armstrong shared conversations with fellow All-Star Sammy Sosa, who reportedly wished for three homers from the Chicago native.
Sosa attended a pregame ceremony commemorating the city’s 150 years in the National League. Despite Shohei Ohtani’s absence from the NL MVP race due to injury, Crow-Armstrong remains a strong contender, batting .282 with 36 homers, 89 RBIs, and 32 steals in 136 games.
