Nelson Cruz smacked a Miguel Castro 95.7 mph slider for a solo shot over the left-field wall in Seattle's 11-3 loss to the Orioles Monday night. Cruz went 1-4 for the night.
Fantasy Impact
Cruz is wielding a scorching bat as of late. In August, the veteran designated- hitter has hit eight home runs with 16 RBIs and 10 runs scored, while slashing a jaw-dropping .396/.423/.979 in 48 at-bats. He now has 29 homers on the year, and is on pace for hitting 40 for his fourth consecutive season. It goes without saying, he should be inserted into in all fantasy lineups.
