Nelson Cruz deposited a Bud Norris cutter into the center field bleachers for a two-run homer in Seattle's 6-3 loss to the Angels on Thursday night. It was his lone hit in four at-bats.
Fantasy Implications: Cruz continues to stay hot after ending an 0-16 skid on July 29th. In the 11 games he has played since then, the Mariners designated hitter is slashing a whopping .372/.440/.907, while hitting seven HR and 15 RBIs in 43 AB. He has a hit in all one of those games. For the year, Cruz is batting .287 with 27 homers and an American League leading 90 RBIs. Needless to say, he should automatically be inserted into fantasy lineups of all settings.
