CINCINNATI — Elly De La Cruz might be struggling at the plate, but the Reds star is still making an impact. He made a great backhanded stop in the second inning of Monday's game against the Rockies and put just enough on the throw to get it to Spencer Steer for the out. It was a great snag by Steer.

The Reds and Rockies are tied 1-1 in the third inning. Watch the play below:
