Cruz hits solo homer, triples in loss
Oneil Cruz hit a solo homer and tripled while going 2-for-4 in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Saturday. Cruz absolutely shellacked a homer off Marco Gonzales that travelled a whopping estimated 473 feet in the first inning. The 25-year-old shortstop later tripled and scored on a fielder’s choice in the sixth. There are certainly frustrating moments with Cruz, but there aren’t many players capable of performing the things he can on a baseball field. He’s up to 15 homers and 52 RBI with a slash of .252/.304/.461.
Marte hits two-run homer in victory
Ketel Marte hit a two -run homer Saturday and drove in three runs in a victory over the Pirates on Saturday. Marte extended the Arizona lead to 4-0 with a two-run blast off of Marco Gonzales. He drove in another run with a sacrifice fly in the fifth to make it 6-4 Diamondbacks. Marte has been fantastic for the D-Backs and fantasy managers with 23 homers, 68 RBI and a .296/.366/.536 slash across 388 at-bats.
