CHICAGO – After news of Shohei Ohtani's setback in his pitching rehab program reached Wrigley Field, it took all of two innings for Chicago Cubs star Pete Crow-Armstrong to hit two more home runs – his 34th and 35th of the season.
A deafening chorus of chants rained down after the second homer, nearly 40,000 voices strong: "M-V-P! M-V-P!"
Not to be outshined in his own drive for postseason hardware, Cincinnati Reds first baseman Sal Stewart responded in the next half-inning with a loud drive over the left-field wall for his 30th home run and RBIs 103 and 104.
It made him the 10th rookie since the Rookie of the Year award was established in 1947 to hit at least 30 home runs with 100 RBIs. The nine others all won the award.
And it's still August.
