Summary
Crow-Armstrong opened Tuesday’s 4-3 win over the White Sox with a leadoff homer at Wrigley Field, his 31st of the season and second straight game starting with one.
That burst added another milestone to his surge: he became the first player in league history with multiple leadoff homers and a walk-off homer in a two-game span.
Alex Bregman delivered the walk-off single in the ninth after the White Sox intentionally walked Crow-Armstrong, and the win pushed Chicago to 74-53.
The 24-year-old already has 31 steals, making him the first Cub with back-to-back 30-30 seasons while strengthening an MVP case against two-time reigning NL winner Shohei Ohtani.
