Josh Naylor powers Guardians to tight victory
by Emily Maingi | Diamondbacks Correspondent | Wed, Jul 10th 11:00am EDT
Josh Naylor went 3-for-4 with a home run in the Guardians' narrow 9-8 win over the Tigers. He also drove in four runs, scored twice, and stole a base, rounding out his day with two walks.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance is a bright spot in what has been a somewhat average season for Naylor, lifting his batting average to .247 and his RBI count to 70. His ability to contribute across multiple categories in this game, particularly with his 22nd homer and a rare stolen base, should remind fantasy managers of his potential upside. While his strikeout rate remains modest and his BABIP suggests some bad luck, Tuesday's game could be a sign of turning fortunes for those in need of power and occasional speed.
