Pete Crow-Armstrong, Alex Bregman and Seiya Suzuki each hit a home run, with Crow-Armstrong connecting for his 27th homer off the facade of the third deck in right field. Bregman's 13th homer and Suzuki's 20th in the eighth inning extended the Cubs' lead to 8-4. The Cubs went on to win the game, their season-best record. Washington's CJ Abrams and Jacob Young contributed with two homers each, but the Cubs' strong rally ultimately secured their victory.",
