Pete Crow-Armstrong, Alex Bregman make MLB history with rare feat in Cubs' rout of Braves

Pete Crow-Armstrong and Alex Bregman made MLB history on Wednesday while leading the Chicago Cubs to victory over the Atlanta Braves .

Crow-Armstrong and Bregman each hit a home run, each hit a triple and each had three extra-base hits in the 8-4 rout at Wrigley Field . That made them the first pair of MLB teammates to do that in the same game in nearly 70 years.

The last pair of teammates to pull off the feat was Willie Mays and Daryl Spencer for the San Francisco Giants in 1958, according to OptaStats .

Bregman came just short of hitting for the cycle in the Cubs' win. He hit an RBI double in the opening inning to put the Cubs on the board first and then hit a solo homer in the fourth. In the fifth. Bregman hit a two-RBI triple that just barely made it past Braves third baseman Austin Riley up the line. That put the Cubs up 6-0 at the time.

Crow-Armstrong got his home run first, with a solo blast in the third inning. He hit an RBI triple in the fifth inning, just two batters ahead of Bregman, and added a second solo home run in the seventh.

Down 8-2 entering the ninth inning, the Braves added two runs in the frame off of a Mauricio Dubon double and an RBI from Sean Murphy , but their comeback started too late, and the Cubs held on to grab the four-run win.

The Cubs have won four of their past six games and sit at 85-68. The Milwaukee Brewers have already clinched the National League Central , but the Cubs hold the top NL wild card and have a two-game lead in the wild-card race.

The loss for the Braves dropped them to 89-64. They lead the NL East by 4.5 games over the Philadelphia Phillies . A win for them on Wednesday, combined with some help from elsewhere in the league, could have clinched a postseason berth.

Both teams still have a bit of work to do to ensure they're playing in October.
