Crow-Armstrong’s first career grand slam in the seventh inning of Friday night’s 13-6 win over the Cincinnati Reds made him the first Cubs player since runs batted in became an official stat in 1920 to have two games with at least six RBIs in a calendar month.

Hunter Greene was scheduled to throw a maximum of 80 pitches in what was his return appearance from the 15-day injured list, but he was still on pace to get through five innings until Chicago's Nico Hoerner worked a 12-pitch at-bat in the fourth inning.

The Chicago Cubs are gaining momentum in their pursuit of having the 2027 MLB All-Star Game hosted at Wrigley Field.
