August 9, 2020 2:08 AM : Cruz went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 9-6 loss to the Royals.
Analysis: After sitting out of the starting lineup for a day, Cruz returned with his first long ball since July 26 (fourth this season). He was still hitting for average even during that power outage and that cliff does not appear to be anywhere on the horizon for the 40-year-old.
