7 years agoSeattle Mariners designated hitter Nelson Cruz will look to extend his hitting streak to nine games when the Mariners open up a series with the Orioles on Monday night. Cruz is 14-for-31 (.451) with one triple, two doubles, four home runs and 10 runs driven in during the streak. After a slow start to the season due to injuries, Cruz is now tied for fourth in the American League with 20 home runs. He will head into the final week of June slugging .772 with 10 home runs and an eye-popping OPS of 1.196 over his last 79 at-bats. Cruz will face Orioles right-hander Andrew Cashner on Monday, a pitcher Cruz is 6-for-13 (.462) lifetime against with one home run and three doubles. Cruz is a must-start in all fantasy formats this week.--Joey C - RotoBaller
