Fue otra actuación completa para la bujía de los Cachorros, que ha estado en fuego las últimas dos semanas. Crow-Armstrong tuvo un comienzo lento en la caja de bateo esta temporada, pero llegó al juego del miércoles con fWAR de 1.3 desde el 7 de abril. Eso lo tenía empatado con la superestrella de los Yankees, Aaron Judge, por la mejor marca en las Grandes Ligas en ese lapso.

It was another all-around performance for the Cubs’ spark plug, who has been on a tear over the past two weeks. Crow-Armstrong started slow in the batter’s box this season, but headed into play Wednesday with 1.3 fWAR dating back to April 7. That was tied with Yankees superstar Aaron Judge for the best mark in the Majors in that span. CHICAGO -- Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has gotten to know Pete Crow-Armstrong a little bit, given that the Cubs’ center fielder is friends with his son.

CHICAGO -- The Cubs have already offered plenty of evidence this season that their offense has the ability to strike fast and remain resilient. The North Siders offered the latest example on Tuesday night against the Dodgers. In the 10th inning, Ian Happ pulled a single into right, scoring pinch-runner Vidal Bruján from second base to set off an on-field party after a stunning 11-10 win.

CHICAGO -- After waiting out a rain delay for nearly an hour, Cubs first baseman Michael Busch stepped back into the batter’s box in the first inning on Sunday afternoon and slashed a Merrill Kelly pitch into left field for a run-scoring single. It looked like Chicago’s offense was going to be off and running again. Kelly then set down a career-best 16 batters in a row, quieting the Cubs’ potent lineup and setting a course for the North Siders’ 3-2, 11-inning loss to the D-backs.

In the second inning, Gallen allowed two runners to reach and then yielded a run while making an acrobatic play to rob Tucker of a would-be infield hit. That only calmed things momentarily for the pitcher, who then surrendered the consecutive homers to Suzuki (six homers on the season) and Busch (five). CHICAGO -- The Cubs got a good night of sleep after Friday’s wild win at Wrigley Field and then picked up right where they left off.
