CHICAGO -- Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong on Monday night became the first player in the majors to hit for the cycle this season.
Crow-Armstrong homered to lead off the game against the Colorado Rockies, then hit a triple in the third inning, a double in the fifth and a single in the seventh.
The Cubs rallied with two runs in the ninth inning for a 5-4 win.
Crow-Armstrong, 24, is the first player to accomplish the feat since Twins center fielder Byron Buxton last July and first Cubs player since teammate Carson Kelly last March. Crow-Armstrong is the 13th player in franchise history to hit for the cycle and the youngest since Randy Hundley in 1966.
Moments after acknowledging the accomplishment to the crowd, Crow-Armstrong got picked off at first base by Rockies pitcher Antonio Senzatela. Crow-Armstrong's first three hits came off Colorado starter Michael Lorenzen.
Crow-Armstrong has been red hot lately, collecting 13 hits in his past six games -- including the four Monday. Of those 13, eight have gone for extra bases. His OPS rose to .845 after achieving the cycle.
Crow-Armstrong was a triple shy of the cycle Saturday against the San Francisco Giants.
