In a dominant performance, the Chicago Cubs trounced the Chicago White Sox 13-3, featuring standout moments including rookie Cade Horton's debut and Moisés Ballesteros' first hit. However, Pete Crow-Armstrong emerged as the star, hitting a home run and driving in six runs, marking a milestone in Cubs history. The game solidified Crow-Armstrong's position as a leading player for the Cubs, drawing praise from the manager for his high-level play both offensively and defensively, and tying a franchise record for RBIs from the leadoff spot.
Crow-Armstrong is the first player in Cubs history with 12 home runs, 30 RBI, and ten stolen bases through the team's first 45 games of the season.
He became only the third Cub below the age of 23 to record a game with a home run, four hits, and six RBI, joining Corey Patterson and Ron Santo.
He's playing at a really high level right now... Itâs fun to see a player take another step. He's taken a step up defensively.
Crow-Armstrong's six RBI also tied the franchise record for RBI out of the leadoff spot, tying Rick Monday's total on May 5, 1976.
