Pete Crow-Armstrong's First Career Walk-Off Homer Gives Cubs 7-5 Win over White Sox in 10 Innings
- On Monday, August 17, 2026, at Wrigley Field, Pete Crow-Armstrong hit a two-run walk-off home run in the 10th inning, securing a 7-5 victory for the Chicago Cubs over the Chicago White Sox.
- Following back-to-back first-inning homers from Crow-Armstrong and Seiya Suzuki, the game saw multiple lead changes as Randal Grichuk and Andrew Benintendi homered for the White Sox.
- Crow-Armstrong became the first player in Cubs franchise history to record back-to-back 30-homer, 30-steal seasons with his 30th home run, matching Chris Young's 2010 feat of a leadoff and walk-off homer in one game.
- Relief pitcher Jacob Webb stranded the bases loaded in the 10th to preserve the tie, as the Cubs snapped a two-game skid and ended the White Sox's three-game winning streak.
- The performance bolsters a 2026 MVP campaign, where Crow-Armstrong remains in close competition with Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani, who also homered twice on Monday night.
