6 years agoMinnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in a 6-3 loss to the New York Yankees on Friday. Cruz took Yankees reliever Zach Britton deep in the eighth inning for his sixth homer of the season. Overall, Cruz is hitting .303 with the six homers, 16 runs and 20 RBI. The veteran has been a solid presence in the middle of the Minnesota lineup this season, establishing himself as a solid run-producer. Cruz is slated to take on New York lefty J.A. Happ on Saturday. While Happ has struggled in 2019, Cruz is a must-start, as he has feasted upon lefty pitching over his career.--Matt T - RotoBaller
