Elly De La Cruz News: Cracks three-run shot vs. Baltimore

De La Cruz went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Friday's 8-3 win over the Orioles.

De La Cruz struck out in three of his five at-bats Friday, but he put the Reds on the board in the third inning when he took the first pitch he saw from Cade Povich deep to center field for a 400-foot, three-run long shot. It was De La Cruz's fourth homer of the season, and his 21 RBI are tied with Pete Alonso and Kyle Tucker for second most in the National League behind Wilmer Flores (23).
