Jay Bruce home run enough against Marlins

Jay Bruce (1B,LF,RF - FA)

Jay Bruce went 2-for-3 in Cincinnati's 1-0 win over Miami on Friday, scoring the lone run of the contest with a solo shot in the second inning.

Fantasy Impact
Bruce continues to be a solid choice for an emergency outfielder, hitting near his career batting average of .250 this season (.240). Scattering four hits over the Reds' last three games, however, might indicate that Bruce is rapidly gaining momentum headed into the All-Star break, and could be a viable pick for a weekend fantasy start.
