Milwaukee Brewers' Christian Yelich hits for the cycle against the Reds for a third time. Twitter was impressed.
Chriistian Yelich was the designated hitter Wednesday afternoon.
With the emphasis on hitter
Yelich singled, doubled, tripled and homered, not in that order as his ninth-inning triple completed a very rare Major League Baseball trilogy.
Yelich's big day at the plate during the Brewers' 14-11 loss to the Cincinnati Reds marked the third time that the Milwaukee outfielder has hit for the cycle in his career.
And, the trio of hitting displays have all been achieved against the division-rival Reds.

Now tied with four other players in the history books, if Yelich ever hits for a fourth cycle, doesn't Harley-Davidson need to get involved?
