Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong drop-stepped and crossed back twice to set up under the deep fly ball that the Brewers’ Chistian Yelich to straightaway center field off Cubs left-handed reliever Drew Pomeranz.
Steps before the wall, the ball bounced off Crow-Armstrong’s glove.
The uncharacteristic error prolonged the fifth inning of the Cubs 9-3 loss to the Brewers on Tuesday and cost the Cubs a run. As the Brewers orchestrated a three-run rally to seize control of the game, the Cubs used three pitchers in the inning.
