## Resource

Pete Crow-Armstrong is on fire, smashing a two-run homer, four hits, and three extra-base hits—including a clutch double off ace Paul Skenes—in the Cubs’ 11-0 shutout. The crowd chanted MVP as he crossed home plate, and with seven fWAR already this season (the first player in MLB to reach that mark), he’s now firmly in the NL MVP race. After a tough strikeout, he bounced back with a changeup-driven double, showcasing his mental toughness and focus on the team’s bigger picture. With Shohei Ohtani sidelined and the Cubs’ last MVP dating back to 2016, Crow-Armstrong could deliver one of the franchise’s greatest individual seasons—and maybe even a historic WAR over 10.
