Pete Crow-Armstrong extended his recent power surge Sunday against Cincinnati, hitting a leadoff home run off Reds starter Chase Burns in what Sportsnet identified as his 37th of the season. The blast marked the fifth homer Crow-Armstrong has hit over the Cubs' past two games, per multiple outlets.

Despite the offensive display, the Cubs fell to the Reds, unable to secure the series win, per Yahoo Sports. MLB.com reported that Burns overcame Crow-Armstrong's homer in an otherwise electric night at Wrigley Field. Crow-Armstrong, an MVP candidate according to Sportsnet and Yahoo Sports, has been one of baseball's hottest hitters in recent games, though the Cubs couldn't translate his individual production into victory Sunday night.
