DETROIT – Pete Crow-Armstrong made sure to rub it in that he was still leading the Cubs’ home run race over Seiya Syzyki after a 6-1 win Saturday against the Tigers.
“I let him know today that he had to hit two, and I’ve still got him,” Crow-Armstrong said with a grin after the game. “I said, any day that he hits a home run, I’m going to have to do it as well. I mean, if that turns into real motivation, then great.”
Suzuki and Crow-Armstrong accounted for three of the Cubs’ five home runs Saturday, with Michael Busch and Matt Shaw also chipping in one apiece.
