MINNEAPOLIS – Pete Crow-Armstrong’s second home run of the game soared above Target Field’s advertisement video board in right-center field, and into the third row of fans’ outstretched hands.
It was part of an offensive onslaught, as the Cubs lineup broke out of a two-game quiet stretch to avoid the sweep against the Twins with an 8-1 victory Thursday. And with three more regular season games to go before Crow-Armstrong takes the field in the All-Star Game, it brought his season total to 25 homers.
“If we’re talking about this series as a whole, I would have liked to spread them out maybe, pick a couple different spots,” Crow-Armstrong said of his home runs coming in bunches.
