MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee Brewers stayed 2 ½ games behind the NL Central-leading Chicago Cubs by getting a one-of-a-kind performance from their All-Star outfielder.
Christian Yelich hit for the cycle for the second time this season and Wade Miley worked five innings of the Brewers’ 8-0 rout of the Reds.
Yelich belted a two-run homer and added a two-run triple that completed his cycle in the fifth inning.
The Milwaukee outfielder is the fifth player in major league history to do it twice in one season, and the first to accomplish it against the same team. Yelich also hit for the cycle while going 6-for-6 versus Cincinnati less than three weeks ago.
Domingo Santana also homered for Milwaukee, which ended a two-game skid and improved to 13-5 since Aug. 29.
