Pete Crow-Armstrong powers Cubs walk-off victories after defensive slip

Chicago’s Pete Crow‑Armstrong was at the center of two dramatic late‑inning wins. On June 4 at Wrigley Field, the Cubs rallied from a 4‑0 deficit against the Oakland Athletics. After a ball slipped past Crow‑Armstrong in the lights, allowing Shea Langeliers an inside‑the‑park homer, Crow‑Armstrong answered with a solo home run and later delivered the walk‑off RBI single that scored Seiya Suzuki for a 7‑6 win.

A week earlier, Crow‑Armstrong hit two home runs, including a game‑tying blast in the ninth, as Chicago erased a 2‑1 deficit to defeat the San Francisco Giants 3‑2 in a walk‑off victory. Both games highlighted his offensive contribution after earlier defensive mishaps, helping the Cubs avoid a series sweep and improve their standing in the NL Central.
