Pete Crow-Armstrong hit a Jonathan Cannon cutter just past Chicago White Sox first baseman Tim Elko and down the right-field line in the sixth inning Sunday at Wrigley Field.
Right fielder Michael A. Taylor got to the ball quickly and fired it to second, hoping to cut down the speedy Chicago Cubs center fielder.
While Crow-Armstrong slid in safely at second, Vidal Bruján — who began on first base and slowed down as he reached third — sped up again in an attempt to score the go-ahead run.
Shortstop Chase Meidroth threw to the plate, but Bruján made it safely with a head-first slide just ahead of the tag from catcher Edgar Quero.
