In a stunning turnaround, Chicago Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong broke out of his slump with a two-homer game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, leading the Cubs to a 4-2 victory. After struggling with a .194 batting average over his last eight games, Crow-Armstrong's performance was pivotal in securing the Cubs' fourth consecutive series win. His two solo home runs and a triple showcased his potential, a bright spot in an otherwise challenging stretch.
Despite earlier doubts, Crow-Armstrong's recent game has reinforced the Cubs' interest in locking him into a long-term contract. His versatility and speed have made him an essential part of the Cubs' future plans, aligning with the organization's vision as they aim to build a competitive team for the coming years.
