Cubs crowd erupts as Pete Crow-Armstrong joins the 40-40 club. The Chicago Cubs clinched their second straight postseason berth with a 2-1 victory over the Miami Marlins on Thursday. Seiya Suzuki homered for the Cubs (88-71), who secured one of the NL's three wild-card berths. Chicago will make consecutive postseason appearances for the first time since four straight from 2015 to 2018.

The Cubs clinched shortly after the White Sox earned their postseason trip. It was the first time both Chicago teams clinched on the same day, according to ESPN Research, and only the fourth year both reached the postseason.

Crow-Armstrong became the seventh 40-40 player, joining Shohei Ohtani and Ronald Acuña Jr. Crow-Armstrong, 24, hit his 45th homer Sunday and stole his 40th base on Thursday. Fans chanted "MVP" at Wrigley Field. Matthew Boyd (10-5) allowed one run over seven innings, and Ryan Zeferjahn pitched a perfect ninth for his seventh save.
