PCA racks up 2 more HRs but Cubs drop series
A day after his first three-homer game, Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong added two more blasts, but it wasn't enough to keep Chicago from losing its third consecutive series.
The Cubs are really struggling right now, and it's not for lack of effort from Pete Crow-Armstrong. The young center fielder is making a name for himself with his impressive power at the plate, including a whopping five home runs over the past two days. His two-homer performance on the second day of this series is a bright spot in an otherwise tough stretch for the team.
The bigger picture here is that the Cubs are having trouble finding their footing, dropping their third straight series. This is a team that had high expectations coming into the season, and it's clear they're not living up to them so far. As the tour of the season continues, they'll need to get their mojo back if they want to stay in contention.
So what's next to watch? The Cubs will look to bounce back in their next series, and PCA will aim to keep his hot streak going. Can he lead his team to a much-needed win, or will their struggles continue? We'll be keeping an eye on this one as the season heats up.
