After getting just one hit in eight at-bats — plus four strikeouts — in the first two games of the Chicago Cubs' three-game set against the NL Central-rival Milwaukee Brewers, Crow-Armstrong made a defensive blunder during Wednesday night's game that led to a "Little League home run" by the Brewers' David Hamilton.

In the top of the second inning at Wrigley Field, the Brewers' Sal Frelick and Joey Ortiz were on base when Hamilton came to the plate against Cubs starter Edward Cabrera. Hamilton hit a line drive to center field, where Crow-Armstrong whiffed on collecting the ball for the fielding error. It was a costly blunder by Crow-Armstrong. The speedy Hamilton was off to the races around the bases and scored sliding head first into home plate to give Milwaukee an early 3-0 lead.

Hamilton, who hasn't gone yard yet this season, is still looking for his first official home run of 2026. He was credited with a single on the play.

The Brewers won the first two games of the series between 2025 playoff opponents to enter the May 20 tilt atop the NL Central, a half game ahead of the Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals in the standings.
