by Chris Zolli | Tue, Apr 26th 7:23am EDT
Nelson Cruz finished 0-for-3 with a walk in the Mariners' 3-2 win over the Astros on Monday night. Cruz now has an .878 OPS in 73 at-bats this season.
Fantasy Impact:
The hitting streak that Cruz came off of shows the full breath of Cruz's skills, as he clubbed two home runs and knocked in seven RBI to move his season totals to 10 extra-base hits and 12 RBI. Cruz has a .274 batting average and fantasy owners would buy an average of .270-.280 for a full season, assuming that Cruz is around his seasonal norms of 35-40 home runs and 100 or more RBI. He is a top power option in baseball and a high-tier OF2.
