sportsApr 28, 202625105

Elly De La Cruz hit a two-run homer off Tanner Gordon, a 376-foot drive with a 105.9 mph exit velocity and a 23-degree launch, in the bottom of the eighth to help the Cincinnati Reds beat the Colorado Rockies 6-2. The blast, coming off Gordon's 91.6 mph four-seam fastball, was De La Cruz's 10th home run of the season. Earlier in the game De La Cruz made an outstanding defensive play to record an out. Reaching 10 homers this early underscores De La Cruz's growing two-way impact and his emerging role as a core offensive threat for Cincinnati.
