Witt went 3-for-5 with a triple, a solo home run, an additional RBI and a steal in Saturday's 10-6 loss to the Guardians.
Witt smashed his 14th home run of the season Saturday, a 431-foot shot to center off Eli Morgan in the seventh. The shortstop also added a single in the first and a triple in the fifth that plated Nicky Lopez to put him a double short of hitting for the cycle. He was unable to complete the feat, however, grounding out to the pitcher in the ninth inning. WItt possesses a rare blend of speed and power, ranking fourth in baseball in steals and fourth in homers among shortstops, making him an elite fantasy asset despite a middling .738 OPS.
