At the top of the eighth inning, with the Cubs leading 3-1, Crow-Armstrong faced the Cardinals’ pitcher Gordon Graceffo. The pitcher left a fastball over the plate, allowing Crow-Armstrong to hit his seventh home run of the season. The ball landed in the section known as ‘Tarps Off Crew,’ famous for their enthusiasm and shirtless cheering.
