Oneil Cruz has four hits, three stolen bases in Saturday win

Oneil Cruz continued his torrid start to the season by going 4-for-5 with a walk, a run scored, and three stolen bases as the Pirates defeated the Cubs, 4-3, in 11 innings on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact:

Cruz reached base five times on Saturday, posting three singles, a double, and a walk while stealing a career-high three bases. He became the first Pirate to record four hits and three stolen bases in a game since Matt Lawton against the Marlins on July 26, 2005. Since starting the season 2-for-14 in his first four games, Cruz is on a 10-game hitting streak and has gone 17-for-41 (.415) with four home runs during the stretch. He's been one of the top players in fantasy early in the season, and he should be rostered in every league at this point.
