Oswald Peraza hit cleanup for the Angels on Thursday and went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, a double, a home run, and three runs batted in during an 11-4 win over the Yankees. He also added a stolen base in the victory.
Fantasy Impact:
Peraza started in the cleanup spot for the first time this season - and just the second time in his fifth big league campaign. He took Yankees' ace, Max Fried, deep for a two-run shot in the first to give the Angels a 2-0 lead. He then ripped an RBI double in the sixth to tie the game at 3-3, ending Fried's day. It has been a surprising start to the year for Peraza, who was once an intriguing prospect in the Yankees' system. Peraza posted career-highs in home runs (5) and stolen bases (9) in 106 games last season. He's batting .269 (14-for-52) with four home runs and three stolen bases in 18 games this season. A breakout season for the 25-year-old could be on the way.
