CLEAR THE BASES 💪 Oneil Cruz SLAMS this ball over the wall!

with four singles. Now you got him on the ropes. And you have Daryl Scott, the pitching coach, making an early trip with O’Neal Cruz coming to the plate and the bases loaded. Nobody out. Pirates a chance to put up more than just a crooked number. A big number here in the first to start this series at Korsfield in Denver. pitching staff, which is pretty common place here with for these Rockies over the years, struggling and this season no different. A league worst 565 earn run average for the Colorado Rockies pitchers. Give you some perspective, the Padres’s had the lowest team Rra at 355. And it it is kind of hard to quantify here if you take a especially for the Rockies if you just take all of their home games and see what that that ERA is. You you kind of take a little bit of that but also much more on the road into consideration. Hard hit the other way to the wall and foul would have been extra bases for Cruz. That might have cleared the bases. [Applause] We couldn’t tell how close this was down the left field line, but it looked to be. Here we go. Again, opposite field. Neil just got done saying these hits. Not doing trying to do too much. There’s a drive to right center field. Oh, Neil Crows. A cruise missile for a grand slam. A laser over the right center field fence into the Bucko Bullpen and a chef’s kiss for O’Neal Cruz. Five nothing Pirates. 18 dingers for Cruz. Well, and now you’re happy that ball down the left field line didn’t find some chalk, Greg. That probably would have been only two runs. This one just a towering ball to right center field off the bat of O’Neal Cruz. There’s putting your foot on the gas and then there’s putting it full pedal to the metal. This Pirates team is dropped a five spot on him before the Rockies know what hit him. Boy, that was a pretty sight. Absolutely crushed that pitch to make it 5 nothing. [Applause] And now a base hit to center field for Fan. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Watch his swing off the bat of O’Neal Cruz. A curveball and holy cow, he does not miss this. Murdered it. Catcher number. [Music] Second career grand slam for O’Neal Cruz. [Applause]
