For Christian Yelich, it was déjà vu all over again. On Monday night against the Reds, the Brewers’ outfielder hit for the cycle for the second time this season, replicating a feat he’d pulled off just three weeks prior against … the Reds. In doing so, he not only helped Milwaukee to an 8–0 win over Cincinnati, but also further burnished a scorching second-half case for National League MVP honors.
The last time Yelich hit for the cycle, on Aug. 29 in Cincinnati, he did so as part of a six-hit, three-RBI night in a 10-inning Brewers win.
