A red-hot debut season for Reds star Elly De La Cruz continued in a major way on Friday as the 21-year-old made history a little over two weeks into his career.
De La Cruz punctuated another standout showing in the Reds’ 11–10 win over the Braves by hitting for the cycle, amazingly achieving the feat by the sixth inning in just his 15th major league game.
The rookie slugger reached the mark after he doubled to center field in the second inning, blasted a 368-foot home run in the third, singled to center in the fifth and, finally, crushed a sixth-inning triple to right-center that drove in one run.
