Crow-Armstrong changed the dynamics of a Cubs season that’s running out of time. There are also the little things that became a theme around Wednesday’s 10-8 loss, which left Cubs manager Craig Counsell visibly annoyed and more pointed in his criticism. Winning a three-game series on the road against the Dodgers is nice, but the Cubs need sweeps.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong talked about the surprising way he found out the Mets had traded him at the 2021 trade deadline.

Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Rockies.

Crow-Armstrong made a nifty sliding catch to deny Kike Hernandez of a hit and nicely recovered to haul in a Shohei Ohtani fly ball in the eighth inning. He was also close to robbing a Tommy Edman homer earlier in the game, in what turned out to be merely a warm-up for an evening of defensive excellence.
