The Chicago Cubs defeat the Baltimore Orioles 9-7 on Wednesday night in a game decided by a late scoring burst. Pete Crow-Armstrong hits two of Chicago’s five home runs, helping power a Cubs offense that outslugs Baltimore. Michael Conforto and Carson Kelly also go deep in the first moments of Chicago’s comeback during the fifth inning. The rally comes shortly after Baltimore takes an early lead, with Pete Alonso hitting a two-run home run that gives the Orioles a 3-1 advantage. Chicago responds immediately in the fifth, tying the game as Conforto and Kelly homer on the first two pitches of the inning, after which the Cubs continue to add runs to reach their final total of nine. Baltimore finishes with seven runs, but the Orioles are unable to overcome Chicago’s multi-homer output. With Crow-Armstrong accounting for two of the team’s homers, the Cubs’ power display proves decisive in the close, back-and-forth matchup.
