CHICAGO (AP) — Pete Crow-Armstrong drove in the go-ahead run with a seventh-inning triple and scored twice as the Chicago Cubs evened their series with the New York Yankees with a 5-2 win on Saturday night.
Nico Hoerner started the winning rally with his sixth home run, tying the score off Fernando Cruz (4-6), before Crow-Armstrong scored Pedro Ramirez with a line drive into the right-field corner off Brent Headrick. Crow-Armstrong then came home on Seiya Suzuki’s single to center.

Crow-Armstrong scored the game’s first run in the first inning by walking and advancing on a pair of wild pitches by Max Fried.
Michael Busch made it 5-2 in the eighth with an RBI single off Yovanny Cruz.
Cubs reliever Trent Thornton (4-4) pitched 2/3 of an inning for the win. Caleb Thielbar allowed one hit in the ninth but for his third save.
With the wind blowing in from center field at 21 mph, Spencer Jones homered and scored both of the Yankees' runs and Ali Sanchez had three of New York's eight hits.
Jones, on base thanks to Michael Busch's error, scored from second on Jose Caballero's single in the fifth.
In the seventh, Jones lined David Peterson's fastball to left, Jones’ fifth home run of the season and Peterson’s 97th and final pitch of the night. Peterson allowed two runs, one earned, in 6 1/3 innings, allowing five hits and striking out eight.
Fried allowed two hits and one run in 5 1/3 innings, striking out seven and walking one. Fried has allowed one run or fewer in six of his 13 starts.
RHP Gerrit Cole (4-5, 3.57 ERA) starts for the Yankees on Sunday against Cubs RHP Colin Rea (8-7, 4.67).

KRAKOW, Poland (AP) — Six people were killed and 15 wounded after a gunman opened fire Saturday afternoon in a busy market square in Krakow, authorities said, in what Poland ’s defense minister called an “act of terror” on the people of the city.
The suspect, a 25-year-old Polish citizen, opened fire with an automatic weapon in the city’s Main Square, a major tourist destination. He was fascinated with far-right ideologies and held “very radical views," Polish Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński said at a news conference.
Polish Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz called Saturday’s fatal shooting an “act of terror” on the people of Krakow.
Four women and two men were killed. Two police officers were wounded, one seriously, Kierwiński said on X.
Authorities earlier said the gunman was a Polish citizen and said he was 24, but later corrected his age to 25.
The perpetrator was shot and wounded during a gunfight with officers a short distance away from the initial violence, police said, and was taken to the hospital for surgery.
Katarzyna Cisło, a spokesperson for the Krakow police, said the perpetrator was wearing military-style fatigues and a bulletproof vest and used a military-type long gun in the attack. Police found many other weapons, as well as ammunition, in his car. He kept firing at the police even after being shot himself, she said.
The attacker engaged in a “wild ride” around the Main Square, Cisło said, which is why people were wounded at several locations.
Cisło added that the gunman acted alone and that the public is safe.
Krakow mayor Łukasz Gibała said the city will be in official mourning until Wednesday. He vowed that Krakow will remain open to visitors despite the tragedy.
“The square will belong to us again,” Gibała said in a video posted to X.
Videos posted on social media by witnesses show people running away from the square to take cover on small streets nearby, as well as first responders trying to resuscitate victims. In one of the videos, a policeman is seen repeatedly shooting the attacker, who is lying on the street, only to later slowly collapse himself to the ground.
Photos showed a Polish Medical Air Rescue helicopter after it landed in the square.
It was not immediately clear whether the firearm used in Saturday’s attack, or the guns found in the perpetrator’s car, were legal. Around 411,000 people hold gun permits in Poland, which has a population of 37 million, and interest in gun ownership has been rising.
Mass shootings are uncommon in Poland. However, in mid-October three attacks at schools in the central province of Mazovia took place within four days, leaving one person dead and many wounded, including children.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, in a post on X, praised the police officers who responded to Saturday’s tragedy. Polish President Karol Nawrocki said his thoughts were with the victims, the wounded and their families.
A tram driver reported around 3 p.m. that his vehicle was shot at from a man in a moving car while passing nearby the main square, the Krakow municipal transport company said. The window to the tram driver’s cabin was shattered.
Animal rights group OTOZ Animals said the attacker also shot two horses. Both animals are alive, but one was grazed by a bullet and the other hit in the leg. White carriages drawn by horses are a main tourist attraction in the square.
Around 15 million tourists a year visit Krakow, Poland's second-largest city, the majority passing through the Main Square.
Warsaw mayor Rafał Trzaskowski announced increased security measures, including road barriers, along main streets in the old town in the Polish capital in the aftermath of the Krakow attack.
