Brewers' Christian Yelich homers after brother, just out of Marines, throws 1st pitch

Not long after Cameron Yelich threw out Friday's ceremonial first pitch to his brother, Christian, the Milwaukee Brewers' MVP candidate gave Cameron a moment to remember by launching a two-run homer in the first inning against the Detroit Tigers.

Cameron Yelich was recently honorably discharged from the United States Marine Corps and made the trip to Milwaukee's Miller Park to see Christian play for the first time since 2016.

"I haven't seen him play since I was in the Marine Corps, so it's super cool to come out here and throw the first pitch with the Brewers," Cameron told MLB.
