Nelson Cruz with a multi-hit game
by Chris Zolli | Tue, Aug 9th 7:15am EDT
Nelson Cruz went 2-for-3 with a double and run scored against the Tigers on Monday. Cruz is 5-for-27 with two extra-base hits, two RBI, and three runs scored over the last seven days. He has an .887 OPS this season.
Fantasy Impact:
Cruz was slumping a bit, with Monday's multi-hit game as his first of the month, and he now has 45 extra-base hits this season. He is a prototypical power hitter with 27 home runs and 70 RBI, both top-10 in the American League, while his .279 batting average will not harm fantasy owners either.
