Cubs Clinch 2nd Straight Playoffs Trip by Beating Marlins 2-1 as Crow-Armstrong Joins 40-40 Club
The Cubs are seeking the NL’s top wild-card seed after clinching their second straight postseason berth with a 2-1 win over Miami.
- On Thursday, September 24, 2026, the Chicago Cubs secured their second consecutive postseason berth with a 2-1 victory over the Miami Marlins at Wrigley Field.
- Center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong joined the exclusive 40-40 club during the victory, stealing his 40th base to accompany his major league-leading 45 home runs.
- Despite injuries to starters like Justin Steele and Ben Brown, Manager Craig Counsell mixed and matched throughout the season to cover for pitching instability.
- With three games remaining, the Cubs are chasing the top National League wild-card seed, as a 48-hour, three-game stretch at Fenway Park in Boston will decide their hosting status.
- The organization aims for a deeper playoff run than last season, when their campaign ended in the Division Series against the Milwaukee Brewers, despite a challenging September.
