“Anything you can do, I can do better.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
That might be what Pete Crow-Armstrong<\/a> was thinking ahead of his leadoff home run in the bottom of the first inning of the Chicago Cubs<\/a>‘ matchup with the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> on Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n Because Crow-Armstrong’s bomb to right-center field tied the game and matched the game-opening home run from Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n The pair of first-inning long balls even made history as only the second time players from both teams hit leadoff home runs at Wrigley Field, a ballpark that has existed in some form since 1914.\u00a0<\/p>\n Ironically enough, and as another commonality, both players’ leadoff home runs were their 25th of the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n Crow-Armstrong would also go yard on his next at-bat with a two-run shot in the fourth inning, which extended the Cubs’ lead to a commanding 5-1 at the time.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nShohei Ohtani, Pete Crow-Armstrong make history with leadoff HRs\u00a0<\/h2>\n
