Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong follows walk-off blast with historic lead-off HR

Not even a full 24 hours after playing the role of hero for one side of Chicago and making history, Pete Crow-Armstrong was back at it again to open Tuesday's edition of the Cubs vs. White Sox rivalry.  

Having entered the second game of the three-game series with exactly 30 home runs — he achieved his second-straight 30-30 season on Monday — Crow-Armstrong led off the bottom of the first inning by hitting another one.

Crow-Armstrong's lead-off home run also made more MLB history. He became only the 13th player since at least 1900 to follow a walk-off home run with a leadoff home run in the next team game. 

The last player to do it was Jose Altuve with the Houston Astros on June 15-16 in 2021. 

And with his second blast in consecutive at-bats and third overall in two days — he connected on two in the series opener on Monday, Crow-Armstrong now has 31 home runs, which matches the career-high he set last season, and 79 RBI in 127 games so far on the year.
