CINCINNATI – Pete Crow-Armstrong’s towering flyball hung in the air for so long it seemed to defy physics. Then it clanged off the right-field foul pole, ringing in the young star’s first career grand slam.
Facing the visiting dugout at Great American Ballpark, Crow-Armstrong beat his chest in celebration. Visiting Cubs fans chanted “P-C-A” before the at-bat and after the home run call withstood a replay review.
“I thought it was going foul, and then it didn’t,” Crow-Armstrong said after the Cubs’ 13-6 win Friday against the Reds.
