Pete Crow-Armstrong hits three home runs in Cubs victory
Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong delivered a standout performance at Wrigley Field, hitting three home runs and driving in six runs to lead the Cubs to a 17-5 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
Crow-Armstrong's performance included a leadoff home run in the first inning, marking his ninth career leadoff home run, all of which occurred this season. His three-homer game follows a previous performance where he also hit multiple home runs, further strengthening his candidacy for the National League MVP award.
During a pregame ceremony celebrating the Chicago franchise's 150 years in the National League, former player Sammy Sosa reportedly challenged Crow-Armstrong to hit three home runs during the game, a feat the 24-year-old achieved.
