Oneil Cruz homers in loss to Cardinals Tuesday
by David Leisering | Pirates Correspondent | Wed, Apr 29th 9:51am EDT
Oneil Cruz went 2-for-5 with a solo home run on Tuesday as the Pirates dropped an 11-7 decision to the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact:
Cruz belted his ninth home run of the year off of Kyle Leahy in the sixth to get the Pirates on the board. He then singled and scored in the eighth for his first two-hit game since April 16. Cruz has cooled off immensely after his hot start, going just 5-for-31 (.161) with 16 strikeouts over his last seven games. Three of his five hits during the stretch have been home runs. He is one home run shy of becoming to first player this season to reach double digits in both homers and steals.
