Pete Crow-Armstrong exploded for a four-for-five night, crushing a two-run homer and driving in three runs as the Cubs steamrolled the Pirates 11-0, while Shota Imanaga dominated with six shutout innings. Skenes, despite 11 strikeouts, struggled with five earned runs and six hits, marking a sharp drop from his recent dominance. Crow-Armstrong nearly hit for the cycle, smashing extra-base hits in three straight innings and nearly completing the rare feat. The Cubs’ offense erupted in the 5th and 6th, finally breaking through against Skenes after nine strikeouts, then crushing the bullpen to seal the win. Sunday’s series finale pits Braxton Ashcraft against Jameson Taillon — can the Cubs keep rolling?
