Seiya Suzuki & Pete Crow-Armstrong are 1st pair of teammates in Cubs history to reach 50 RBIs in the club's first 56 games, via team historian Ed Hartig. The duo surpassed Hack Wilson/Charlie Grimm (1929), Hack Wilson/Kiki Cuyler (1930) & Ernie Banks/Ron Santo (1969), who all did it 62 team games.

Pete Crow-Armstrong goes deep for his 15th home run of year that cut through wind to RF. It's PCA's 50th RBI of the year on the solo homer, making him 1 of 3 players to reach that mark so far, joining teammate Seiya Suzuki, who drove in his MLB-leading 51st run in the 1st inning, & BoSox's Devers.

Although the trade deadline is still two months away, early signs indicate it’s trending toward a seller’s market, which could complicate the Cubs’ efforts to improve the roster.

Matt Shaw comes through with big hit for walk-off W, going opposite way for single that drops in to score winning run -- Cubs beat the Rockies 4-3 in 11 innings. Pete Crow-Armstrong's steal of 3B and run on Michael Busch's single to left field tied it, setting up Shaw to walk it off 2 batters later

Off the bat, it sounded like Carson Kelly had a pinch-hit walk-off homer. Instead, the wind kills it and it's caught for the final out of the 9th. Cubs-Rockies tied 2-2 headed to extra innings. Kelly's fly out to CF was a barreled ball that had a 104 mph exit velocity and an .880 expected average.

Reese McGuire continues the Cubs catchers' offensive mojo this season, slugging a home run in his first at-bat after being called up today. A late addition to the lineup with Carson Kelly sick, McGuire went deep on an 0-2 pitch from Lodolo to cut the Reds' lead to 4-3 in the 2nd.
