Cubs Meet the Reds After Crow-Armstrong's 3-Home Run Game
Chicago Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong hit three home runs on Saturday, powering the team to a 17-5 victory over the Cincinnati Reds at Wrigley Field.
The 24-year-old's performance pushed his season totals to 36 homers and 32 stolen bases, making him an overwhelming-1100 favorite to win the National League MVP award.
Cubs icon Sammy Sosa challenged him before the game: "I want three out of you today. I need three." Crow-Armstrong delivered a 435-foot solo shot, 375-foot two-run blast, and 444-foot three-run homer.
His three-homer game raised his fWAR to 9.1, the fifth-highest single-season mark in Cubs history, positioning him within reach of the exclusive 40-40 club achieved by only six MLB players.
Crow-Armstrong remains an overwhelming favorite for the National League MVP award as the 77-59 Cubs push toward the postseason, with Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani second on the odds at +600.
