Oneil Cruz Connects for a Clutch Homer in Pirates' Narrow Victory
by Matthew Adam | Pirates Correspondent | Tue, Sep 10th 6:03am EDT
Oneil Cruz went 1-for-4 in the Pirates' 3-2 win over the Marlins with a home run, one run scored, and one RBI.
Fantasy Impact:
The solo shot from Cruz was a bright spot in an otherwise average day at the plate, marked by a pair of strikeouts. Despite the strikeouts, Cruz's power continues to be a valuable asset in fantasy lineups, especially considering this was his 19th homer of the season. His consistent ability to contribute in multiple categories, including power and speed (21 stolen bases this season), keeps him relevant in most fantasy formats. However, his high strikeout rate (30.7%) remains a concern and could hinder his batting average and on-base opportunities as the season progresses.
