Oneil Cruz extends hitting streak to seven straight
by David Leisering | Pirates Correspondent | Tue, Apr 7th 11:46pm EDT
Oneil Cruz went 1-for-5 with a two-run double in the bottom of the fifth inning to help the Pirates to a 7-1 victory over the Padres on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact:
Cruz gave Paul Skenes and the Pirates a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the fifth with his two-out, two-run double off of San Diego starter, Nick Pivetta. It was his only hit of the game, but it extended his hitting streak to seven straight. It was also his first double of the year. Cruz is slashing .295/.340/.591 through 11 games this season, but does have a 15:2 K:BB ratio - not exactly ideal for a leadoff hitter.
