The Chicago Cubs stayed hot on Saturday, beating the Milwaukee Brewers 6-2 at American Family Field. The Cubs continue to pace the National League Central at 21-13 while the Brewers fell back to 16-18. Last year’s division title winners, they are now in third place.<\/p>\n

Kyle Tucker and Pete Crow-Armstrong each hit home runs in the win, giving themselves a unique spot in baseball history.<\/p>\n

Per @JayHayKid of Underdog Fantasy on social media:<\/p>\n

Kyle Tucker (9 HR, 8 SB) and Pete Crow-Armstrong (9 HR, 12 SB) are just the 2nd pair of teammates in MLB history to each produce 9+ HR and 8+ SB through their first 34 games of a season.<\/em><\/p>\n

The only other instance? Eric Davis and Kal Daniels for the 1987 Reds.<\/p>\n

Tucker, acquired this past offseason from the Houston Astros, is hitting .284 with the nine homers and 30 RBIs. He’s posted an on-base percentage of .390 and is serving as an anchor for the club’s dynamic offense.<\/p>\n

Crow-Armstrong, 23, looks like one of the breakout players in the game and could be headed for his first All-Star appearance later this summer. He’s hitting .271 with the nine homers and 26 RBIs. He’s got a .307 on-base percentage.<\/p>\n

The Cubs and Brewers will finish out their series on Sunday with a battle of aces. Left-hander Shota Imanaga pitches for Chicago while right-hander Freddy Peralta pitches for Milwaukee.<\/p>\n

Imanaga is 3-1 with a 2.77 ERA while Peralta is 3-2 with a 2.52.<\/p>\n

First pitch is scheduled for 2:10 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n
