Elly De La Cruz provided some insurance in explosive fashion on Sunday, crushing a home run in the Cincinnati Reds' runaway win over the Detroit Tigers.

Led by a standout day and overall series from star shortstop Elly De La Cruz — going 7-of-14, three home runs, six RBI and seven runs — the Reds not only brought offensive flair, but took advantage of a flurry of mistakes from the Tigers.

The Reds did tack on three too-little, too-late runs in the ninth when De La Cruz doubled home Santiago Espinal to make it 11-3, then Tyler Stephenson doubled in two more runs to make it 11-5. De La Cruz was 3-for-4, raising his average to .267.

The Detroit Tigers outfielder came up big in Friday’s 11-5 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Greene was 2 for 5 with a home run and 4 RBI’s as the Tigers cruised to their 46th win of the season.

Cincinnati Reds ace Hunter Greene was still in Los Angeles Friday night, pending one more meeting with specialists before returning to Cincinnati.
