Cincinatti Reds phenom Elly De La Cruz hit another mammoth home run on Wednesday night, but he sent the Washington Nationals a little message after the fact.
Davey Martinez had umpires check to see if De La Cruz’s bat was legal during his second-inning at-bat, as he believed a tracking device might have been in the knob.
De La Cruz’s ended up striking out in that at-bat. However, he got his revenge in the fifth inning, his third at-bat after flying out previously, and he did not let it go to waste. De La Cruz finished a whopping 3-for-6 with two runs scored and an RBI from his homer to add to his impressive resume since he was called up by Cincinnati on June 6.
