<p>Pete Crow-Armstrong is so hot right now, he pulled the cycle off backwards.</p><p>The <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/cubs" >Cubs</a>’ star center fielder hit for the cycle Monday night, quirkily doing it in reverse order by going homer, triple, double, single in four at-bats, the 13th time in club history a batter accomplished the noted baseball feat.</p><p>Of course, it hasn’t been long since a Cubs hitter did this, with catcher Carson Kelly hitting for the cycle just last season.</p><p>But Crow-Armstrong’s night for the record books is a new signature moment during a scalding-hot stretch.

He continued with a third-inning triple off the ivy, a fifth-inning double into the right-field corner and a cycle-completing single in the seventh inning.</p><p>The last few weeks have been dotted with memorable Crow-Armstrong moments.
