Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong Throws Shot at White Sox After Record-Setting Day

Yahoo18-05-2025

The Chicago Cubs have an excellent opportunity to take care of business over the next two days, beating the Chicago White Sox 13-3 on Friday. For a Cubs team that would love to sweep and extend their lead in the National League Central after struggling a bit in their last 10 games, there's no better opponent to play than their cross-town rival.
Speaking to reporters after his career game, Pete Crow-Armstrong, who finished Friday with six RBI, a home run, four hits, and two runs, threw a shot at the White Sox, something all Cubs fans will love to hear.

'I'd like to say it's passion rather than emotion,' Crow-Armstrong said, per Patrick Mooney of The Athletic. 'I think passion is when you see, like, the real joy. Emotion kind of goes both ways, where it's sometimes what takes me, anybody, out of a game. But, nah, starting the way we started today feels great. It's nice seeing the crosstown fans leave early.'

Crow-Armstrong has quickly become a favorite in Chicago, as he's somebody who has proven to be an elite talent on all sides of the baseball. Not only has he shown the ability to leave the yard, make plays in the outfield, and steal bases, but he also brings a different type of fire and passion to the game.
The Cubs will take on the White Sox on Saturday afternoon, looking to come away with another dominant win.

With how bad the White Sox have been over the past year and a half, there's no excuse for them not to get the job done.

Blue Jays third baseman Ernie Clement leaves game in 9th after banging knee diving for a grounder

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Blue Jays third baseman Ernie Clement left in the ninth inning Wednesday against St. Louis after banging his knee in the eighth when he dove for a grounder. Clement needed some attention but finished the inning. He was replaced in the field by Addison Barger for the ninth, and Toronto beat the Cardinals 5-2. After the game, in an on-field interview with broadcaster Sportsnet, Blue Jays manager John Schneider said: 'Ernie's a hockey player. He should be fine. We just wanted to be careful with him and not make it worse.' Clement had three hits, including his fourth homer of the season that gave Toronto a 5-2 lead in the fifth. He raised his batting average to .280 for the season. ___ AP MLB:
