Pete Crow-Armstrong Completes Cubs’ First 30-30-30 Season With 30th Homer

The 23-year-old became MLB’s record sixth 30-30 player this year during a 12-1 win that moved Chicago within one step of hosting the wild-card series against San Diego.

Overview

  • The two-run blast off Miles Mikolas in the fourth inning traveled 396 feet and gave the Cubs a 3-0 lead.
  • His season totals stand at 30 home runs, 37 doubles and 35 stolen bases, making him the only Cub with a 30-30-30 season and just the second 30-30 Cub after Sammy Sosa.
  • Chicago’s victory trimmed its magic number to one for home-field advantage against the Padres, with Game 1 of the wild-card series set for Tuesday.
  • Seiya Suzuki hit a grand slam for his 30th homer, joining Michael Busch (32) and Crow-Armstrong in the Cubs’ 30-HR group, and Nico Hoerner also went deep.
  • After a pronounced second-half dip that left him with just two homers in his previous 29 games, Crow-Armstrong reached the mark on a day the Cubs also reinstated Kyle Tucker from the injured list.
