Crow-Armstrong hits 42nd homer as Cubs beat Braves 7-3
Pete Crow-Armstrong hit his 42nd homer to match the Cubs record for a left-handed batter and finished with four hits and four RBIs to power Chicago past the Atlanta Braves 7-3. Crow-Armstrong’s two-run shot to right in the sixth inning off AJ Smith-Shawver pulled him even with Hall of Famer Billy Williams’ mark from 1970. Crow-Armstrong has 102 RBIs, putting the All-Star center fielder over 100 for the first time in three full seasons.
David Peterson allowed one run on three hits over six-plus innings to get the win. Chicago moved one-half game ahead of idle Philadelphia for the top NL wild card.
