Playing the day after a hand injury forced him out of the game, Christian Yelich slugs the game-winning homer in the third inning to beat the Reds.

The Brewers try for their ninth straight win tonight as they again take on the Reds at Great American Ball Park.

Christian Yelich hit his fourth home run in six games and the Milwaukee Brewers extended their winning streak to eight games, beating the Cincinnati Reds 3-2 Monday night. Yelich — named the National League Player of the Week earlier in the day — connected on a full-count slider from Brady Singer (6-4) and drove it 417 feet to straightaway center and off the batter's eye to put Milwaukee on top in the third inning.
