Cruz's strong performance got lost in the process of teammate Brandon Lowe slugging two homers while Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber went deep for the ninth time in his last eight games. The 27-year-old power/speed combo threat is two steals behind Jose Ramirez and Nasim Nunez for the big-league lead in the stolen base department this season. He's still striking out a ton, but some strides against left-handed pitching have helped make his batting average a bit more palatable than last year's abysmal .200 mark.
