Declines Home Run Derby; Hits Solo Homer in Win Over Padres

Pete Crow-Armstrong has officially declined an invitation to the upcoming Home Run Derby at the All-Star Game for the second consecutive year. On the field, he continued his strong production, going 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk, and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-7 victory against the San Diego Padres. The Cubs center fielder remains a key contributor as he maintains his recent offensive momentum.
