There’s no denying that Crow-Armstrong is not having the start to the season that he would like, entering the game with one home run and seven RBIs with a .241 batting average. However, he would provide some needed insurance in the top of the seventh inning with a three-run home run, garnering the attention of Bregman.
“It was great, it was huge insurance. Not off to the start that he wanted to get off to. But that’s kind of the fun part about baseball, is grinding through the failures of it. It’s a game of failure. You’re going to fail over and over again, and you got to show up every day and prepare and get after it…he works his tail off every day. It’s definitely not for a lack of effort, but you just got to keep going in this game,” Bregman said, via Marquee Sports Network.
The hope is that Cubs’ Pete Crow-Armstrong could turn around his season
Crow-Armstrong’s home run for the Cubs in the win over the Padres went 410 feet to center field, in the hope this could be the start of a good stretch for the 24-year-old.

“He always finds a way to help us win a ball game. So whether or not it’s at the dish or running the bases or defensively, there’s more ways that you can help a team, even when you’re not swinging at the way you’re capable of. So was definitely happy for him to come through for us right there, and hopefully just continue to build off that,” Bregman said after the win over the Padres on Tuesday.
At any rate, Crow-Armstrong looks to keep it going when Chicago takes on San Diego again on Wednesday evening.
