It didn't take Luis Cruz very long to show Yomiuri Giants fans what they'd been missing for the past two months.
Cruz, returning from an ankle injury, sparked a big inning with a two-run home run in his first at-bat and it was smooth sailing for the Kyojin from that point in a 5-2 win over the Yokohama BayStars in front of 43,602 on Tuesday at Tokyo Dome.
"It was great to get Cruz back," Giants manager Yoshinobu Takahashi said. "We missed him."
