Pete Crow-Armstrong hits for the cycle in a game at Wrigley Field against the Colorado Rockies, becoming the first MLB player to do so this season. The Chicago Cubs outfielder completes the feat with a single in the seventh inning, adding his name to the franchise record book and putting him alongside past Cubs great Hack Wilson in the team’s cycle list. Earlier in the year, Crow-Armstrong was close to the milestone, and reporters note he had recently been a triple away from the cycle. In this matchup, he achieves the full range of hits but his celebration is brief. After completing the cycle, he is picked off first base by Rockies reliever Brennan Bernardino during a one-run game. The Cubs still win, scoring two runs in the bottom of the ninth to take a 5-4 victory over Colorado. Cubs manager Craig Counsell comments on the quick shift from accomplishment to setback, while the final result remains a Cubs win.
