Pete Crow-Armstrong Proves He’s the Fire Cubs Need to Win Big in 2025

Matt Shaw hit a slow-roller to Geraldo Perdomo at shortstop with two outs and two runners on as the Cubs were clinging to a 4-3 lead in the fifth inning against the Diamondbacks. Ultimately, Miguel Amaya cashed in with a three-run double that put the Cubs safely ahead on Opening Day, but it was Pete Crow-Armstrong who had the most important play of that two-out rally.

See, although Perdomo had no issues fielding Shaw’s grounder, he assumed that he’d get the easy force at second base to end the inning.
