Pete Crow-Armstrong reached 40 home runs and 40 steals as the Chicago Cubs clinched an NL wild-card berth with a 2-1 win over Miami on Thursday. Matthew Boyd allowed one run in seven innings; Seiya Suzuki's homer tied the game, and Ian Happ scored the go-ahead run.
A linked Chicago Tribune report said Crow-Armstrong was the first Cub to record a 40-40 season and only the seventh player in MLB history to do so.
In Wednesday's loss to Miami, Kevin Gausman made an awkward tag at third and had soreness in his non-pitching shoulder. The article said it was hoped the soreness would not delay his return next week.
