I think Christian Yelich is in a groove.
A day after clubbing 2 homers, he went 6 for 6 in an extra inning game and with a game tying triple, made it a cycle. Don’t put a qualifier on this one. He completed the cycle before the game went into extras!
The Milwaukee bats are heating up and Yelich just seems happy to be out of Miami.
Here is the list, updated for today’s action!
