Crow-Armstrong's RBI single in the bottom of the 9th lifts Cubs past the Athletics 7-6

Pete Crow-Armstrong delivered a bloop RBI single in the bottom of the ninth, capping a four-run surge that lifted the Chicago Cubs to a 7-6 victory over the Oakland Athletics and prevented a three-game series sweep. Crow-Armstrong also homered in the sixth, his ninth of the season, highlighting Chicago’s late resurgence after trailing 6-1. The Cubs had four ninth-inning hits after eight frames of limited offense, underscoring the rally’s dramatic momentum. Starter Shota Imanaga (4-7) yielded all six A’s runs before departing in the seventh, while Joel Kuhnel (1-2) surrendered the tying run in the ninth before Crow-Armstrong’s decisive hit.
