In a historic game Monday night, the Chicago Cubs stole eight bases against the Pittsburgh Pirates, a feat they last accomplished in 1913. Chicago's rookie sensation Pete Crow-Armstrong spearheaded the effort with three stolen bases, elevating his season total to 26 in 93 games. Remarkably, Crow-Armstrong has been caught stealing only once this year.

Ian Happ contributed two steals, while teammates Nico Hoerner, Cody Bellinger, and Seiya Suzuki each added one. All eight steals were recorded against catcher Yasmani Grandal, with seven occurring while Mitch Keller was pitching during his four-inning stint. The Cubs won 18-8. Prior to this game, Chicago was eighth in the league with 112 steals. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
