The defender of the Chicago Cubs Center, Pete Crow-Armstrong, has fun hitting the programming in charge of his team.
“This is the best offense that I have never been, never seen,” said Crow-Armstrong. “It is more rewarding after the year that we had last year in terms of stadium factors and so on, with all the breath that blows and everything. I love what we do at home.”
After taking advantage of a record day at Wrigley Field Friday afternoon, the Cubs will try to keep the right times to come within the friendly limits on Saturday when they welcome the cardinals in the intermediate match of a three-game set.
The Cubs rout the Cardinals 11-3 Friday afternoon by hitting eight circuits, a deductible record in a single match, while extending their sequence of victories to four.
Michael Busch had his first career match at three Hommer and rolled in five points. Crow-Armstrong added two circuits while going 4-in-4 with four points, lifting its percentage of scanning at the base at 0.868.
“We have left the bat well,” said Cubs manager Craig Counsell. “You see something different in the park every day. We hit a lot of circuits today, it was fun to watch. The guys spent huge days.”
The Cubs won seven of their last nine games in a race that started with two victories in Saint-Louis. They scored 475 points this season, the second highest total of the majors.
Chicago will open the Saturday competition with Drew Pomeranz (2-1, 0.00 ERA) in an enclosure game. Pomeranz launched two goals aimed against cardinals in two rescue outings last week. In 26 appearances this year covering 23 1/3 rounds, the 36 -year -old left -hander only granted one round, which has not been won.
Pomeranz is 0-1 with an MPM of 3.71 in 10 career appearances (two departures) against Saint-Louis.
The cardinals lost four consecutive games in the fall of 6 1/2 games behind the cubs of the National League. On the positive side, St. Louis made his sequence of 31 -sleeves aimlessly and his sequence of 53 -sleeves aimlessly in the division when Brendan Donovan struck a circuit on Friday.
St. Louis will try to cool the cubs with the left-hander Matthew Liberatore (6-6, 3.70 ERA), who won a 7-0 victory against the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday in his last departure. He kept them three strokes and five balls on bullets while withdrawing five in six rounds to win his sequence of personal victories with three departures.
“Overall, it was a very good outing, and his use was exactly what you want with regard to the mixture of lead and the curve,” said the director of cardinals, Oliver Marmol, after this competition. “Everything was a good mix. I like what we saw of him today. He was stubborn and not giving in to some guys, and it paid.”
Liberatore won an 8-2 home victory against cubs on June 23 after granting two points over six strokes and a walk while withdrawing five inning in seven in seven. Crow-Astrong hit two doubles on him in this match.
Liberatore is 1-1 with an MPM of 3.72 in nine career outings against Cubs, including three departures.
