During a dramatic 5-4 comeback victory against the Cincinnati Reds at Wrigley Field on May 4, 2026, Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong scored a crucial game-tying run in the bottom of the ninth inning. After hitting a leadoff triple, Crow-Armstrong scored on a sacrifice fly by Nico Hoerner but narrowly avoided being tagged out because he failed to slide. Upon returning to the dugout, an animated Crow-Armstrong confronted teammate Matt Shaw, who was responsible for signaling whether to slide. Crow-Armstrong expressed frustration that Shaw’s instructions were inadequate. Manager Craig Counsell subsequently replaced Shaw with pinch-hitter Michael Conforto, who secured the win with a walk-off home run. This victory extended the Cubs' winning streak to six games, marking their 16th win in 19 contests.
