Crow-Armstrong Hits 2 of Chicago’s 5 Homers and the Cubs Outslug Baltimore 9-7

On Wednesday, the Chicago Cubs defeated the Baltimore Orioles 9-7, with Pete Crow-Armstrong hitting two home runs to secure the Cubs' fourth consecutive road series win.
Crow-Armstrong clinched his second straight season of at least 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases, joining Sammy Sosa and Ryne Sandberg as the only Cubs with multiple 20-20 campaigns.
Chicago's offense powered the win with home runs from Michael Conforto, Carson Kelly, and Seiya Suzuki; the Cubs have hit 41 home runs in 25 games since June 11.
Trailing 9-3, the Orioles rallied with home runs from Coby Mayo and Tyler O'Neill, but closer Jacob Webb secured his fourth save, finalizing Baltimore's third consecutive loss.
The Cubs aim for a three-game sweep Thursday night, sending David Peterson to the mound against Trevor Rogers as manager Craig Counsell manages roster depth with injured pitchers working toward returns.
