Pete Crow-Armstrong's grand slam in the eighth inning lifted the Chicago Cubs to an 8-6 lead and an eventual 13-6 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night. Armstrong hit two home runs with six RBI, putting him among the league leaders in both categories in what's been an impressive start to his 2025 season.
Crow-Armstrong's first homer was a 2-run shot in the fourth that put the Cubs on the board after falling behind 4-0. Reds pitcher Hunter Greene threw a 100 mph fastball on the outside edge of the strike zone, yet Crow-Armstrong still pulled it into the right field seats.
