5 years agoMinnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz had a big night in an 8-5 win over the Kansas City Royals on Thursday. Cruz went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI to power his team to the win. The veteran went deep off starter Mike Montgomery in the third inning and followed that up with another blast in the seventh off reliever Jake Newberry. Cruz has had an impressive season, hitting .299 with a 1.010 OPS, 39 homers, 79 runs, and 102 RBI in 113 games. He will be an excellent play once again on Friday against Kansas City starter Eric Skoglund.--Matt T - RotoBaller
