0:00
and he gets the base hit the right field
0:03
here's cool coming around McBride's
0:06
throw is going to be late ball gets by
0:09
brood and everybody's gonna move up
0:12
so Crews the ground single to right
0:15
field and Houston has taken a 4-3 lead
0:20
The Hitter either gets on or he makes it
0:22
out I like to throw strikes and get in
0:25
and out of here line to left coming on
0:26
his cruise and he makes a play
0:31
a great running catch by Jose Cruz and
0:34
right there Terry Tater to left field
0:36
Empire to make the call all right here
0:38
it is again and by now you've grown
0:40
accustomed to this kind of thing with
0:42
these Astros speed and opportunism
0:45
they're trademarks they make the big
0:47
plays in the field here it is again
0:50
Cruz got the quick jump aim in swiftly
0:54
on the ball gambled some but was there
0:59
there's one more shot of it as he comes
1:01
in there's some good angles for you to
1:13
McBride's thrown not in trying and
1:16
Houston takes the one to nothing lead on
1:18
the double by Jose Cruz
1:27
who took the breaking ball and uh I
1:31
think Bryson got in a little further
1:35
he was really late on it
1:38
and with his speed he gets the double
1:46
collab Here Comes Vader's turning third
1:49
he's coming to the plate bass goes over
1:51
to third Cruz delivers another one it is
1:55
three nothing Houston
2:03
I'll tell you the attitude of this
2:08
it's been come out on a torrid Pace or
2:11
had the team come out on a tourist pace
2:13
and everything is going their way
2:20
Cruise connects and the ball is going
2:23
going and it is gone Jose is just one of
2:27
several young Astros now maturing
2:29
towards stardom he has power and is one
2:32
of the League's top base dealers
2:36
now watch this a deep drive to right
2:39
Houston's Jose Cruz is after it
2:45
Jose Cruz one of the best kept secrets
2:48
in the National League another key to
2:56
for the tough early season schedule the
2:59
Astros got off the sputtering start
3:01
cabell's teammate Jose Cruz has been
3:04
called at times the best kept secret in
3:07
the National League as a hitter is right
3:09
around the 300 mark with a third year in
3:15
also one of the top base runners in the
3:20
77 for Jose Cruz you have to wonder how
3:24
long talents like that can remain a
3:31
Jose Cruz may not look like a cleanup
3:34
hitter but in his first 11 games he
3:36
drove home 19 runs Houston lost two
3:40
games to the Giants before Cruz had a
3:42
big double header starting with a homer
3:45
that provided a 4-3 lead I'm talking
3:47
about individual efforts how about
3:49
Houston's Jose Cruz the recipient of
3:52
this week's Gillette special in the
3:54
Astros twin Bell victory over the Giants
3:57
Cruz went four for eight driving home

that extra muscle added to the league
5:02
leading bat of Art Howe as the Astros
5:05
looking good for the road ahead
5:08
Jose Cruz added his name to the Astro

when he passed Cesar cebano to become
5:16
Houston's all-time leader of
5:19
1660 hits a standout since coming from
5:23
St Louis 10 years ago Cruz holds a flock
5:26
of Astro career marks he said 300 a
5:30
better five times while driving in at
5:32
least 90 runs each of the past two years
5:36

5:38
fine for 15 seasons and while a

consistently tough customer is the plate
5:44
chaos hard work on defense has paid off

5:49
milestone and a 2-1 win against San
