Most Recent Cycle Hit For Each MLB Franchise (Updated For Christian Yelich, September 17, 2018 )
Fox Sports Wisconsin
Another cycle for Christian Yelich?
Why not?
Is hitting for the cycle a once in a lifetime experience? Evidently not for Christian Yelich. In less than a month, he has pulled off the trick twice. BOTH times? Against the Reds. Safe to say he has their number.
With the 8-0 drubbing, the Brewers still have a shot at first place. And it is safe to say Yelich has been a good pick up for the Brewers.
How will the Reds pitch to him tomorrow?
