Chicago outfielder Pete Crow Armstrong hit three home runs and drove in six runs, powering his team to a seventeen to five victory over the Cincinnati Reds at Wrigley Field on Saturday afternoon. The star player opened the scoring with a first inning leadoff home run, added a two run shot in the second inning, and capped his historic performance with a three run blast in the seventh inning. He finished four for six with four runs scored, lifting his season home run total to thirty six. Before the game, former franchise star Sammy Sosa participated in a milestone anniversary celebration and predicted the three home run output during a batting cage conversation. Pitcher Kevin Gausman earned the victory for Chicago, allowing five runs over five innings. Cincinnati starter Andrew Abbott absorbed the loss after surrendering seven runs in three innings. The dominant offensive display significantly strengthened the MVP case.
