What happened: Pete Crow-Armstrong went 4-for-6 and capped his first career three-homer game with a three-run shot in the seventh inning. He said Sammy Sosa had predicted the feat before the game.
Why it matters: At 24, Crow-Armstrong became the franchise's youngest three-homer hitter. The performance strengthened his case in the NL MVP race during the final month of the regular season.
By the numbers: Crow-Armstrong homered in each of his first two plate appearances, singled in the fourth and added his third homer in the seventh.
What to watch: Crow-Armstrong returns Sunday night for the series finale at Wrigley Field.
