Cardinals' Aledmys Diaz: Breakout season continues with 14th homer
Diaz went 2-for-5 with a double, a homer, three RBI and two runs in Thursday's win over Miami.
Analysis:
The slick-hitting rookie keeps on impressing, as his two-run homer in the third got the Cardinals started and his RBI double in the fifth provided a key insurance run. The 25-year-old Cuban hit only 13 homers in the minors last year, but he now has 14 in 94 MLB games and a batting average that he's holding solidly above .300. If not for Trevor Story, Diaz would be getting a lot more attention, but his fantasy owners certainly know what he's been about this year.
