Top prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong getting the call up to the Cubs

The Cubs took care of business against the Giants with a Wrigley Field sweep. Led by young pitching, the club is rolling and gaining on the Brewers in the NL Central. Justin Steele, Jordan Wicks, Luke Little and Javier Assad have taken center stage in the pennant race. Young relievers being available in September is a sign of a well run organization.
