Hochman: In town vs. Cards, Yelich approaching 'new triple crown,' won by two STL legends

In the past 100 years, a century of baseball, only seven National Leaguers have done what Christian Yelich could do in 2019.

Yelich, as St. Louisans are exasperatingly aware, hits the Cardinals well. He walloped a double in Tuesday night's Brewers loss, and he enters Wednesday's game with a career 1.086 OPS against the Cards in 208 plate appearances (Yelich's overall career OPS is .873, though you have to take in mind that the a good chunk of his at-bats against St. Louis happened last year, when he joined the division and had an MVP season).

The Brewers, though, are suddenly struggling.
