Kyle Tucker, Pete Crow-Armstrong and their partners turn heads at the All-Star game red carpet
Having enjoyed a fantastic first half of the season so far, Chicago Cubs outfielders Kyle Tucker and Pete Crow-Armstrong earned All-Star selections. As Kyle Tucker and Pete Crow-Armstrong arrived with their significant others, Samantha and Hailey Lavelle, they very much looked the part.
Images of both couples arriving on the red carpet were posted by the Cubs' official Instagram handle.
Tucker is batting .280 with 17 home runs and 56 RBIs so far this season. PCA, on the other hand, has been batting .265 with 25 homers and 71 RBIs.
