The Cincinnati Reds can’t be stopped.

Elly De La Cruz led the Reds to their 12th straight win on Friday night, a 11-10 victory over the Atlanta Braves at the Great American Ball Park. De La Cruz hit for the cycle by the sixth inning, which only added to the historic day.

The Reds' 12th consecutive win matched a franchise best, a record that was last set in 1957.

De La Cruz was only playing in his 15th major league game on Friday night after being called up earlier this month from the Reds’ Triple-A affiliate in Louisville.
