May 20 (UPI) -- Chicago Cubs star Pete Crow-Armstrong was fined an undisclosed total for aiming vulgarities at a fan in Chicago, a source familiar with the matter told UPI on Wednesday.
The exchange, which was caught on video, occurred in the fifth inning of a 9-8 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Sunday at Guaranteed Rate Field, the home of the Cubs' intracity rivals.
Crow-Armstrong said Monday that he regretted his "choice of words." He also said he let the moment "get away from me a little bit."
The Cubs held a 4-2 lead on the White Sox entering the bottom of the fifth frame. Starter Colin Rea walked outfielder Tristan Peters to start the half inning. Right fielder Derek Hill flew out in the next exchange.
