Oneil Cruz leads Pirates over Cubs 12-1

It was a long wait for Pittsburgh Pirates fans to see Oneil Cruz brought up, and when it finally happened, he did not disappoint.

Cruz went 2-for-5 at the plate with a double, two runs scored, and four RBI, while fellow recent call-up Bligh Madris finished the night 3-for-4 with a run and two RBI to help send the Buccos to a 12-1 win over the Chicago Cubs.

In fact, Cruz was so impressive that he earned himself a slideshow running on the front page of MLB.
