PITTSBURGH (AP) For the first time in more than 100 years, the Chicago Cubs stole eight bases in a game as they ran wild Monday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Cubs last had eight steals in 1913. Rookie center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong led the way with three stolen bases. That raised his season total to 26 in 93 games. Crow-Armstrong has only been caught once this year. I think weve done a good job all year of going into it with the mindset of being aggre sive on the bases, Crow-Armstrong said. Against John Farinacci Jersey these guys, weve had a pretty good plan and you saw it today because guys were very aggre sive. Ian Happ added two steals and Nico Hoerner, Cody Bellinger and Seiya Suzuki had one each. All eight steals came in eight attempts against catcher Yasmani Grandal. Pirates starter Mitch Keller was on the mound for seven steals during his four innings. Chicago entered the game eighth in the major leagues in stolen bases with 112. The Cubs led 11-2 after six innings There wasnt a lot that went right tonight, so I dont know if I would highlight the stolen bases as being the i sue, Pirates manager Derek Shelton said. But, yeah, weve got to do a better job of holding runners. Oskar Steen Jersey
