Minnesota Twins DH Nelson Cruz went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run, and two RBI in a 4-1 win over the Blue Jays on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Cruz is up to eight RBI on the season after driving in a pair of baserunners in the win. The veteran is hitting .313 with just one home run on the season. A weekend series against the Orioles, which starts Friday, should help as the Baltimore pitching staff is allowing 2.40 homers per nine innings, tops in the majors.
