Crow-Armstrong, Suzuki Homer as Cubs Edge Pirates 3

The Chicago Cubs defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2 at Wrigley Field on Thursday, led by Pete Crow-Armstrong's two-run home run.
The victory followed a recent Cubs struggle with starter Justin Steele missing and manager Craig Counsell facing back-to-back ejections this week.
Crow-Armstrong connected on a high fastball located 8.1 inches above the strike zone, making it the longest distance from the zone for a home run hit in Major League Baseball this season.
Crow-Armstrong credited his timing, saying, "That's the coolest thing ever," while Counsell highlighted his swing's timing as key to his success.
The win helped the Cubs, now 42-27 with a 5.5-game NL Central lead, maintain their strong position despite rotation challenges and bullpen improvements since May 14.
