Elly De La Cruz Erupts For Cycle In Wild Win
11 months agoCincinnati Reds third baseman/shortstop Elly De La Cruz went nuclear in Friday's 11-10 barn-burning triumph versus the Atlanta Braves. The 21-year-old ended 4-for-5 with a home run, four RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base, hitting for the cycle after tripling in the sixth inning. Cruz lifted Cincinnati to their 12th straight win in an amazing way, becoming the youngest player to cycle since 1972 and the first Red to do so since 1989. Cincy's top prospect is hitting .361 with a 1.074 OPS, three long balls, 10 RBI, and seven stolen bases across 61 at-bats following this thrilling performance. Cruz may not keep this up, but fantasy managers must love the early returns on their premium stash.
