Josh Fuentes Homers Again On Thursday
3 years agoColorado Rockies third baseman Josh Fuentes was a force at the plate on Thursday, going 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in a 13-8 win over the Reds. Fuentes smacked a two-run home run off of Luis Castillo in the bottom of the first inning to stake the Rockies an early 3-0 lead. He then added RBI singles in the fourth and sixth innings, respectively, as Colorado grew that lead to 10-0. Cincinnati's offense finally woke up and made things interesting in the later inning but Colorado held on to win 13-8. Fuentes is slashing .308/.357/.538 with two home runs and seven RBI across 26 at-bats in May but all of that run production has come in the last two games. He's still batting an underwhelming .223 with a .585 OPS on the season.
