The Chicago Cubs completed a three-game sweep against the Colorado Rockies, winning 2-1 in the final game. Despite limited offensive production, with only nine runs in the series, the pitching staff held the Rockies to five runs. Pete Crow-Armstrong excelled, contributing significantly with a home run and a crucial stolen base in the previous night’s game. Meanwhile, the Chicago White Sox will soon return to division play, facing the Detroit Tigers next week, aiming to improve their poor record against American League Central teams.
After his steal of third base in the 11th inning Tuesday led to scoring the tying run in the Cubs' eventual walk-off victory, his solo home run in the sixth Wednesday to right field on a ball well below the zone proved to be the difference in a 2-1 win to sweep the hapless Rockies.
Crow-Armstrong became only the fifth player in MLB history with at least 15 home runs and 15-plus stolen bases in the first 56 games of a season, joining Alfonso Soriano (2003), Eric Davis (1987), Bobby Bonds (1975) and Ken Williams (1922).
It's too early in the year for me to look at a stat like that and be realistic about it,
The White Sox return to division play next week at Rate Field with four games against the Detroit Tigers beginning Monday followed by three against the Kansas City Royals.
