Pete Crow-Armstrong's breakout season continues to look more impressive by the day. The third-year star hit his 24th and 25th home runs of the year in theChicago Cubs'8-1 winover theMinnesota Twinson Thursday. With his 25th homer, Crow-Armstrong became the third player in MLB history to reach 25 home runs and 25 stolen bases before the MLB All-Star break. He joins Bobby Bonds and Eric Davis as the only others to achieve that feat. Crow-Armstrong, 23, reached the 25/25 mark in 92 games. Davis got to 25-25 in 69 games during the 1987 season (he had 27 homers and 33 steals in 74 games by the All-Star break), and Bonds did so in 91 games in 1973 (he was at 25 homers and 28 steals in 97 games), according toMLB.com's Sarah Langs. Alfonso Soriano also got to 25-25 in 91 games in 2002 but had 20 homers and 23 steals at the All-Star break that season. Shohei Ohtani,baseball's first 50-50 batterlast year, must have been at 25-25 by the All-Star break, right? Almost, but not quite. He had 26 homers and 23 stolen bases at the halfway point. Crow-Armstrong first went deep on Thursday with a two-run shot offChris Paddackin the third inning, crushing a 93.5 mph fastball left out over the plate to center field. After walking in the fifth, the Cubs center fielder then led off the seventh by lifting anAnthony Misiewiczcurveball in the middle of the strike zone to the right-center-field seats. PCA AGAIN!Pete Crow-Armstrong mashes No. 25 on the year 😤pic.twitter.com/wtp4GlG66v — MLB (@MLB)July 10, 2025 Including Thursday's two-home-run performance, Crow-Armstrong has five multi-homer games this season. He has more than doubled the 10 home runs he hit last year in his first full season as a major leaguer. And he'll almost certainly surpass the 123 games and 410 plate appearances he totaled last season. Adding a double in the ninth, Crow-Armstrong finished 3-for-4 with two homers and three RBI on Thursday. He's batting .271/.309/.560 with 25 homers, 67 RBI and 27 steals with three games left to play before the All-Star break. The Cubs finish with a weekend series at theNew York Yankees. PCA's 25 homers are tied for sixth in MLB with teammateSeiya Suzuki. PCA's 70 RBI rank seventh, and his 27 steals are third in the league. Mets fans will surely appreciate mentioning that Crow-Armstrong was the team's first-round pick (No. 19 overall) in the 2020 draft, and hewas traded to the Cubsfor Javier Baez and Trevor Williams in 2021. Crow-Armstrong will start his first MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday,elected to the lineup by fans.
