Oneil Cruz homers, but Pirates fall to Reds
by Chris Schommer | Pirates Correspondent | Sat, Sep 21st 11:46am EDT
Oneil Cruz went 2-for-4 with a home run, one RBI, and two runs scored in the Pirates' 8-3 loss to the Reds.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the team's defeat, Cruz's performance, including his 20th homer of the season, provided a silver lining. His consistent power-hitting, evidenced by reaching the 20-home run mark, continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups, especially in formats that reward extra-base hits and runs scored. However, his high strikeout rate, remains a concern for batting average stability. Fantasy managers should keep leveraging his power and speed combination, but be wary of the potential drag on batting average.
