Chicago Cubs slugger Pete Crow-Armstrong made more history Wednesday night in an 8-4 win over the Atlanta Braves at Wrigley Field.

The 24-year-old launched two home runs, drove in a run with a triple and reached 44 homers for the season. He became the only player in MLB history to record at least five home runs, five stolen bases and a triple in four consecutive months.

Crow-Armstrong's first homer came in the third inning, a 376-foot solo shot that gave him 43 for the season and moved him past Cubs Hall of Famer Billy Williams for the franchise record for home runs by a left-handed hitter. Williams hit 42 in 1970. Crow-Armstrong added his second homer in the seventh, giving him 44 for the year and leaving him one behind Philadelphia Phillies star Kyle Schwarber for the MLB home-run lead.

The second blast gave Crow-Armstrong his 13th career multi-homer game and his seventh of the season. His fifth-inning RBI triple increased his season tally to 81 extra-base hits, surpassing Williams' Cubs record of 80 by a left-handed hitter, also set in 1970.

Crow-Armstrong's production extended beyond the franchise records. Wednesday was the 10th game of his career with at least 10 total bases, according to MLB.com's Sarah Langs. Since at least 1900, that is three more such games than any other player before turning 25. Only Williams and Sammy Sosa, with 12 each, have more 10-total-base games as Cubs.

He also matched Nelson Cruz's six games with at least 10 total bases in a single season, the MLB record since at least 1900.

Alex Bregman supplied another major contribution, going 3-for-4 with a home run, triple, double and four RBIs. Shota Imanaga earned the win after allowing one run on four hits over six innings, striking out eight without issuing a walk.

The win moved the Cubs to 85-68, keeping them a half-game ahead of Philadelphia for the National League's top Wild Card spot. The Cubs also own the season-series tiebreaker after winning six of seven against the Phillies in April.
