Pete Crow-Armstrong Powers Cubs Past Dodgers

Pete Crow-Armstrong has emerged as a dynamic young star for the Chicago Cubs, drawing comparisons to former Cub Javier Baez for his energy and clutch play. He played a pivotal role in back-to-back wins over the Los Angeles Dodgers, including hitting a go-ahead three-run homer and making standout defensive plays. Crow-Armstrong's efforts have helped the Cubs secure the season series against the Dodgers and maintain first place in the NL Central, despite a challenging schedule. Since being acquired in a 2021 trade for Baez, he has developed into a complete player, currently batting .294 with five home runs and ranking among MLB leaders in fWAR. Manager Craig Counsell praised his all-around impact, and his performances have fueled hopes for a Cubs return to World Series contention. 'PCA' chants from fans reflect his growing importance to the team.
