The Story in Brief
Pete Crow-Armstrong hit two home runs and drove in four runs as the Chicago Cubs beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-6 on Wednesday to complete a series sweep. Nico Hoerner had three hits as Chicago won for the fourth time in five games and improved to 32-15 since June 11, strengthening its hold on the National League wild-card lead.
Shohei Ohtani also homered twice, while Max Muncy hit a three-run shot during Los Angeles’ five-run eighth inning. The Dodgers have lost six straight games and were swept for the second consecutive series. Shota Imanaga allowed one run in five innings for Chicago. Jacob Webb secured his sixth save with a perfect ninth.
The Indian Opinion
The easy story is that the Dodgers’ star power has suddenly failed, or that Crow-Armstrong has already settled the MVP race. Neither conclusion fits one game. Los Angeles still produced 14 hits, while Chicago survived a late rally, and the season remains long. The more useful test is whether the Dodgers end their six-game skid and whether Crow-Armstrong sustains this production beyond his current 26 home runs.
