Cubs Edge Rockies 5-4 on Walk-Off Walk After Crow-Armstrong Hits for Cycle

Chicago Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong hit for the cycle against the Colorado Rockies on June 15, 2026, becoming the first player in the majors to accomplish the feat this season. Crow-Armstrong homered to lead off the game, tripled in the third inning, doubled in the fifth and singled in the seventh.

His first three hits came off Rockies starter Michael Lorenzen and the fourth off reliever Antonio Senzatela.

The 24-year-old was picked off first base immediately after his single. "I did everything I could to help the team, but I also had a real lapse in focus, and that really could have hurt us tonight," Crow-Armstrong said. The Cubs trailed 4-3 entering the ninth before scoring twice for a 5-4 victory, their ninth walk-off win of the season.

Matt Shaw scored the winning run on a bases-loaded walk. Crow-Armstrong is the 13th player in franchise history to hit for the cycle and the youngest Cubs player to do so since Randy Hundley in 1966. He is also the first Cubs player to hit for the cycle since teammate Carson Kelly in March 2026.

845. "I'm proud of myself for the work I've been doing over the last few weeks, over the course of the year, really," Crow-Armstrong said. Teammate Matt Shaw said, "A cycle is pretty up there as far as ceilings go.

Crow-Armstrong had come within a triple of the cycle two days earlier against the San Francisco Giants. He became the fourth player in the divisional era, since 1969, to complete the cycle in reverse order: home run, triple, double, single. The Cubs have recorded the most walk-off wins in MLB this season.

No other team has more than six. Their last three wins at Wrigley Field have all been walk-offs.
