We know there are very, very few things that Elly De La Cruz cannot accomplish on the baseball diamond, and his talents were on full display in Sunday’s 9-0 thrashing of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Elly led the game off with a single, scored a batter later on TJ Friedl’s double, later homered with a 111.2 mph exit velocity, and finished the day 4 for 5 with a pair of runs scored.
That was good enough to take home the daily Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game honors, though it was a day in which there were many feasible candidates.
