Oneil Cruz, Pirates look to carry momentum into series vs. Angels

After a relatively slow start at the plate this season, Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz appears primed for a hot streak. Cruz looks to build on his recent success when the Pirates begin a three-game series against the visiting Los Angeles Angels on Monday. The Pirates took two of three from the Colorado Rockies over the weekend for their fourth series win of the season. Los Angeles is still seeking its second series win of the season after losing two of three to the Cleveland Guardians.
