Flexen, who’d given up just three earned runs over 32 2/3 innings this whole season, matched that total in this start. Two of those three runs came via a Cody Bellinger home run and it felt like Flexen was lucky to only let those three runs in with the constant traffic on base against him and the Yankees’ seven hard-hit balls in total. Hopefully no one trusted the 0.83 ERA he entered this game with enough to trust him in Yankee Stadium.

Happ has been shifted to the lower third of Cubs manager Craig Counsell’s lineup card after taking a seat during Friday’s showdown with lefty Carlos Rodón on the hill. It’s notable that Nico Hoerner is leading off against another lefty in Max Fried. Happ has been ice-cold at the dish in recent weeks, batting .119 (7-for-59) with one homer and 17 strikeouts over his last 15 games. It’ll be interesting to see if he’s back in the leadoff spot for Sunday’s first-half finale when righty Will Warren takes the ball for New York.

Happ will get a rare breather with tough left-hander Carlos Rodon toeing the slab for the Yankees. Justin Turner will slide into the lineup as the designated hitter to replace him and will bat seventh for the Cubs on Friday evening.

Crow-Armstrong, who went 0-for-8 in the first two games of the series, had a 414-foot homer off Chris Paddack in the third and a 425-foot homer of Anthony Misiewicz in the seventh. It’s his sixth two-homer game, five of which have come this year. He’s up to 25 homers overall, which is tied with teammate Seiya Suzuki for sixth in the majors, and he’s the only player in the league with 20 homers and 20 steals (27, in his case) so far.
