Reds rookie Elly De La Cruz scores on 3 straight stolen bases as electric season continues

Cincinnati Reds phenom Elly De La Cruz continued an electric rookie year Saturday, with what we could call a slow-developing inside-the-park home run, though no specific part of it could be described as slow.

The fun began with a single in the seventh inning against the Milwaukee Brewers. With a runner on third, De La Cruz singled to drive in TJ Friedl and break a 5-5 tie. Not content to just drive in a run, De La Cruz proceeded to steal second base. Then third. Then home. All in the span of about a minute.
