Dom Nunez Jacks Third Home Run Of The Year
4 years agoColorado Rockies catcher Dom Nunez went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a strikeout in a 7-3 win over the Diamondbacks on Thursday. Nunez took D-Backs starter Merrill Kelly deep for a three-run shot in the bottom of the sixth inning to put the Rockies up 7-0. It was his third home run and third hit of the year. It's still very early but Nunez has outplayed veteran backstop Elias Diaz, up to this point. He's slashing .214/.214/.857 with three home runs and five RBI to Diaz's .143/.250/.143 with zero RBI. Neither player has looked all that great but Nunez has separated himself with the three long balls. They're in an even time split as of now and they're hard to trust for fantasy purposes as they both have a slot of swing and miss in their game.
