Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong becomes seventh player in MLB history with a 40-40 season

The Chicago Cubs center fielder got on a base with a leadoff walk on seven pitches against Miami Marlins starter Tyler Phillips . He took off for the milestone steal on Phillips' first pitch to the next batter, Seiya Suzuki .

Crow-Armstrong came into Thursday's matchup versus the Marlins with 45 home runs, tied for the MLB lead. He reached the 40-homer mark on Sept. 6 , also against the Marlins with Phillips pitching. At the time, he had 33 steals with 18 games remaining in the regular season.

Including Thursday's game, Crow-Armstrong has stolen a base in three of his past four games. Only four more games were left on the schedule, but he can go into the Cubs' final series before the postseason without having to chase down that 40th steal.
