The Chicago Cubs have secured their second consecutive playoff berth by defeating the Miami Marlins 2-1 on Thursday. This win solidified the Cubs' place in the National League's three wild card spots. Seiya Suzuki contributed to the Cubs' victory with a home run. The Cubs' achievement marks their first back-to-back postseason appearances since 2015-2018, with their 2016 season culminating in their first World Series title since 1908.
The Marlins, meanwhile, have been assured of their third consecutive non-winning season. Ace Pete Crow-Armstrong became the seventh player to join the 40-40 club, joining the ranks of Shohei Ohtani, Ronald Acuña Jr., and others, following his 45th home run and 40 stolen bases. Crow-Armstrong stole his 40th base during Sunday's 9-1 win against the Cincinnati Reds, a milestone surpassing Shohei Ohtani's record of 59 stolen bases.
