Summary
- Pete Crow-Armstrong hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the 10th.
- Matthew Boyd pitched seven scoreless innings for the Cubs.
- The Cardinals scored three runs in the 10th to win 3-2.
The Chicago Cubs suffered a heartbreaking 3-2 walk-off loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday. In the top of the 10th inning, Pete Crow-Armstrong launched a crucial two-run home run, giving the Cubs a momentary lead. However, the Cardinals responded in the bottom half of the inning.
St. Louis' Iván Herrera delivered a decisive two-run double off reliever Trent Thornton, completing the comeback and sealing the victory for the Cardinals. This dramatic turnaround followed a strong performance from Cubs lefty Matthew Boyd, who pitched seven scoreless innings and continued his recent stretch of solid outings.
Despite Boyd's effort and a scoreless eighth inning from reliever Jacob Webb, the Cubs' offense struggled for nine innings. Their bats fell silent until Crow-Armstrong's late blast, which ultimately wasn't enough to secure the win. The Cardinals' bullpen also contributed, with Dustin May pitching five scoreless innings prior to the late-game heroics.
