De La Cruz steals another base in Reds’ loss
Elly De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a stolen base on Friday against the Nationals. The Reds’ offense was asleep for eight innings in this one before coming alive for four runs in the ninth inning to make the Nationals sweat. It’s still spectacular to see how high De La Cruz’s steal total can climb, as he’s now stolen 17 more bags than Brice Turang who is second in the league.
Yepez hits homer in upset win
Juan Yepez went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, and three RBI in an 8-5 win over the Reds. The All-Star break could not slow down Yepez who’s been scalding hot since being put in the Nationals’ lineup. The homer was his first, but he’s up to seven extra-base hits in 11 games and scorched three hard-hit balls in this one. Every manager should take a flier on Yepez while he’s this hot and playing every day.
