Cisco Cruz helped his team muscle past the Northwest Arkansas Naturals, 7-5. In the game, the Arkansas left fielder was 2 for 4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Dylan Turner earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed 1 run on 3 hits in 3.1 innings. His record is now 2-0. The victory gives the Travelers a record of 37-22.

Cruz had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the seventh. On a 1-2 curveball from Edgardo Méndez, he banged a 3-run home run to left, giving the Travelers a 7-5 lead. It was the 6th home run of the year for Cruz.

"I'm trying to keep it simple," said Cruz. "Just do my job."
