Home Runs by Crow-Armstrong and Tucker Lead Cubs to 3-2 Win over Angels

The Chicago Cubs defeated the Los Angeles Angels 3-2 on Friday night in Anaheim, with home runs by Pete Crow-Armstrong and Kyle Tucker securing the win.
The game marked the first meeting of the season between the teams, coming after the Angels had a day off on Thursday and as both Crow-Armstrong and Tucker ended recent homerless streaks.
Kyle Tucker hit a 405-foot home run in the first inning to break a 25-game home run drought, while Crow-Armstrong hit a go-ahead solo homer in the ninth against veteran reliever Kenley Jansen.
Manager Craig Counsell said he felt good about receiving timely offensive contributions and quoted, "Make it your first one in a while," encouraging the hitters who delivered crucial hits.
The win improved the Cubs’ record to 73-55 overall and 32-30 on the road, helping them maintain second place in the NL Central and presenting an opportunity to close the gap with the division-leading Brewers.
