De La Cruz opened the scoring with an RBI single in the third inning before stealing his 31st base of the season in the seventh. It was the superstar's first two-hit game of August, as he broke out of a 5-for-32 slump through the month's first eight contests. For the year, he's slashing .277/.353/.467 with 19 home runs, 74 RBI, 82 runs scored and the aforementioned 31 steals across 513 plate appearances.

De La Cruz extended Cincinnati's lead to 3-0 in the third inning with a two-run blast off Carlos Carrasco, his 19th homer of the year and first in 31 games. Despite the power drought, De La Cruz has been productive at the plate of late, going 12-for-30 (.400) over his last seven contests. Overall, the shortstop is slashing .285/.363/.489 with 72 RBI, 80 runs scored and 29 steals across 474 plate appearances this season.
De La Cruz went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Dodgers.
