De La Cruz swipes 49th stolen base
Elly De La Cruz went 2-for-4 with his 49th stolen base of the season on Monday in the Reds’ 4-1 victory over the Braves. De La Cruz was at the epicenter of Cincinnati’s offensive production in this one, coming around to score on Jeimer Candelario’s first-inning sacrifice fly shortly after smacking a one-out triple off Braves starter Reynaldo López. He also delivered a two-out single and raced around the bases to score on Candelario’s third-inning double before drawing a walk and stealing his 49th base of the year a couple frames later. The 22-year-old speedster is the most electrifying hitter in the game at the moment and has a realistic shot at winding up somewhere in the neighborhood of 75 stolen bases.
Ozuna one of few productive Braves on Monday
Marcell Ozuna went 2-for-3 with a walk on Monday in the Braves’ loss to the Reds. Ozuna, who boasts a stellar .980 OPS with 28 homers and 79 RBI this season, supplied two of Atlanta’s three hits combined off Hunter Greene and a pair of Cincinnati relievers as they went 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position and left eight men on-base in a near-shutout. Yuck.
