Esteury Ruiz Has Two-Hit, Two-Steal Day In Shutout Loss
1 year agoThe Oakland Athletics were shut out 2-0 on Sunday by the Detroit Tigers, but outfielder Esteury Ruiz was still productive with a 2-for-4 day with a double, two stolen bases and a strikeout at the plate out of the leadoff spot. Ruiz leads the American League with 65 stolen bases on the year, and he's only three swipes behind the overall MLB leader, Ronald Acuna Jr. The 24-year-old Dominican has very little power to speak of, but his elite speed is a game-changer in fantasy leagues. He's also finishing the season strong with a .333/.360/.563 slash line with three home runs, two doubles, eight RBI, 12 stolen bases and six runs scored in 19 games (13 starts) so far in the final month of the year.
