    The Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong, left, slaps hands with Kyle Tucker during a game last week against the Colorado Rockies. AP Pete-Crow Armstrong does just about everything fast, so maybe it makes sense he doesn't draw many walks. The Cubs center fielder drew 2 walks in a game Saturday for the first time in his MLB career, giving him 11 on the season. The only player among the top 50 in OPS who has walked less this season is the Dodgers' Teoscar Hernandez.

    Cubs starter Colin Rea pitches against the Cincinnati Reds Friday at Wrigley Field. AP This would have been a good time for more of that late-game lightning by the Cubs' offense. They trailed Cincinnati 6-0 and rain clouds were looming over the left-field bleachers at Wrigley Field. The Cubs collected four extra-base hits in the final two innings, but it wasn't enough to overcome the steep deficit and they lost 6-2 on Friday. The Cubs had been 9-0 in the first game of a home series this season.
