Oneil Cruz went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base on Tuesday as the Pirates dropped a 5-1 decision to the Rangers.
Fantasy Impact:
Cruz got the Pirates on the board right off the bat on Tuesday as he led off the game with a single, stole second, advanced to third on an error, and then scored on an RBI single from Ryan O'Hearn. It was Cruz' 10th stolen base of the season, tying him for tops in the National League with Washington's Nasim Nunez, and putting him one behind Cleveland's Jose Ramirez for most in the majors. Cruz has cooled off a bit since his ridiculously hot start, hitting just .161 (5-for-31) with 13 strikeouts over his last seven games. He's still hitting .290 with an .897 OPS over 23 games. However, as usual with Cruz, strikeouts are a concern and he has struck out 33 times in 93 at bats - tied for sixth-most in the majors.
