Cruz Gets #400 Wednesday, August 12th , 2048 400 home runs is a lot of home runs to hit. It's a number that very few players reach. Today Mario Cruz became a member of that exclusive club. He belted it at Mountain View Ballpark against the Resonance. But sometimes milestone homers don't win the game. The powerful Colorado first baseman got all the headlines, but Washington came away with the victory. They beat the Bears 4-3. During the postgame interview he told the press, "It's a big relief to get it over. I tried not to think about it, but it's kind of hard when you have a huge sign on the scoreboard staring at you every time you step up to the plate. The home run was nice, but I would have preferred to win the game." His batting totals for the game showed 1 hit in 4 at-bats, 1 home run and 1 RBI. The hardworking and dedicated Cruz also said, "I'll celebrate a little with my family tonight but not too much. This is not the last home run I will hit. I think I have a lot of baseball left in me and have other goals. I'll get back to work tomorrow." For his 1774-game career Cruz has hit .284 with 1864 hits, 1102 RBIs, and 400 home runs.
