Summary
Crow-Armstrong powered the Cubs past Atlanta 8-4 with two homers and a triple, his seventh multi-homer game this season and a 10-total-base night.
His 44th homer broke Billy Williams' franchise mark for a left-handed Cubs hitter, and his 81st extra-base hit set another single-season club record.
The 24-year-old answered seventh-inning MVP chants at Wrigley Field with his second homer, prompting manager Craig Counsell to call the season something fans will tell their children and grandchildren about.
MLB data cited in the report said it was Crow-Armstrong's 10th career game with 10 total bases, three more than any player had before age 25 since at least 1900.
