Pete Crow-Armstrong makes MLB history in Cubs-White Sox series

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong made Major League Baseball history during a recent series against the Chicago White Sox. Crow-Armstrong became the first player in MLB history to record two leadoff home runs and a walk-off home run within a two-game span. He also joined an exclusive group of players to achieve consecutive 30-30 seasons (30 home runs and 30 stolen bases).

The series between the crosstown rivals ended in a 3-3 split. The Cubs secured two consecutive walk-off victories, including a 4-3 win driven by Alex Bregman’s RBI single in the ninth inning. However, the White Sox salvaged the series with a 3-0 shutout victory on Wednesday, led by pitcher José Urquidy.

Crow-Armstrong’s performance has positioned him as a leading candidate for the National League MVP award, highlighted by his league-leading fWAR and status as MLB’s top defensive player.
