Chicago Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong achieved a historic feat by hitting for the reverse cycle against the Colorado Rockies on June 16, 2026. He opened the game with a home run, followed by a triple, double, and single. However, shortly after his cycle-clinching hit, he was picked off at first base, which deflated the celebratory moment. Despite the mishap, Crow-Armstrong's eighth-inning sacrifice fly contributed to a Cubs win, 4-2, as the team continues working to close the gap in the NL Central standings.
