CHICAGO (AP) --- Pete Crow-Armstrong reached five times on two hits and three
walks, helping the Chicago Cubs beat Framber Valdez and the Detroit Tigers 11-2
on Tuesday night.
Crow-Armstrong, Seiya Suzuki and Carson Kelly each drove in two runs, and
Michael Conforto connected for a two-run homer. Dansby Swanson had two hits and
scored three times.
Chicago collected 11 hits while improving to 23-10 in its last 33 games,
bouncing back nicely after losing 8-6 in 10 innings in the series opener on
Monday night.
Dillon Dingler hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning for Detroit, which had
won three of four. The All-Star catcher went deep twice on Monday night.
Valdez (5-7) recorded just two outs in his first start since July 9. It also
was the first outing for the left-hander since a stint on the bereavement list
following the death of his maternal grandmother.
Crow-Armstrong tripled and scored on Kelly's two-run single in Chicago's
six-run first. Crow-Armstrong also forced home a run with a bases-loaded walk
before Valdez was replaced by Ty Madden.
