The Chicago Cubs secured a second consecutive postseason berth with a victory over the Miami Marlins, according to ESPN and AP. The clinching win came on a milestone afternoon for Pete Crow-Armstrong, who completed a 40-home run, 40-stolen base campaign.
The Chicago Sun-Times described Crow-Armstrong’s performance as one of the most remarkable seasons in baseball history, reporting that his Cubs teammates marveled at the 40-40 achievement.
ABC7 Chicago reported that both the Cubs and the Chicago White Sox clinched places in the Wild Card Series. The Cubs will enter the postseason as a possible dark-horse contender, according to The Guardian’s playoff preview. The outlet cited Chicago’s offense and defense, along with Crow-Armstrong and Alex Bregman, as strengths, while identifying the club’s relief pitching as a concern. The Guardian said the Cubs could make a deep run if their bullpen limits home runs.
The postseason begins with the wild-card round.
