Aug 30, 2018 7:36 AM

Christian Yelich went 6-for-6 and hit for the cycle in the Milwaukee Brewers' 13-12 win over the Cincinnati Reds in 10 innings on Wednesday night.

Yelich is the eighth member of the Brewers to accomplish the feat and he tied a club record with the six hits. He is just the fourth player since 1920 to have six hits in a cycle.

"It's one of those things you never really expect to do," Yelich said. "Obviously, you've got to have some luck involved in it; that's always a factor when you do something like that."
