Elly De La Cruz homers again in loss to D’Backs
Elly De La Cruz clobbered his fifth home run of the season on Wednesday, accounting for the entirety of the Reds’ offense in a loss to the Mariners.
Advice: The dynamic 22-year-old victimized Mariners’ right-hander Bryce Miller for his 391-foot (103.8 mph EV) solo shot in the second inning to give the Reds an early 1-0 advantage. It would be short-lived. De La Cruz struck out in each of his other two plate appearances on the day, finishing the afternoon 1-for-3. For the season, the budding superstar is now hitting .277/.356/.600 to go along with five homers, 11 RBI and seven stolen bases through his first 18 games.
