Cubs’ One-Man All-Star Game | Chicago Cubs News

Pete Crow-Armstrong is the lone Cubs All-Star this year, despite the team’s surprising 89-win pace and top-5 NL standing—proof that baseball’s always got surprises. Their offense, while getting runners on base, can’t drive them in, relying on singles and walks over power. Crow-Armstrong had a quiet but solid game, but the rest of the lineup’s struggles are dragging them down against disciplined teams like the Cardinals, who they just lost to in a brutal weekend. Next up: Javier Assad, who’s been inconsistent, faces Matthew Liberatore, a Cardinals pitcher with a history of success against the Cubs. It’s been a grind, but with the series on the line, the Cubs need a breakout performance to turn things around.
