Milwaukee Brewers finally had themselves a good weekend. After 10 days of pure hell for the Brewers, they were able to win two straight games and win a series. Milwaukee beat Cincinnati on Saturday and Sunday. And on Sunday, they took advantage of Luis Castillo being a gas can. One player who thrived on Sunday was Christian Yelich. Yeli did not have a home run this season until the ninth inning when Yelich went yard. It was a great day for Yeli with hard hits all day and it ending in a home run gives a lot of hope for the Brewers faithful. The home run was especially sweet with Reds fans chanting ‘overrated’ at Yelich.

🚨🚨 YELI IS BACK 🚨🚨

Will this propel Yelich to some hot streak? Who knows. One game is not a guarantee. But it is encouraging that all of Yelich’s at-bats resulted in hard-hit balls. That to me is more of a sign that Yelich is starting to find himself again at the plate. So maybe this isn’t a hot streak, but at least, it’s a sign in the right direction. He’ll be dealing with some pitching in the next week with the San Diego Padres coming to town. They’re red hot and have one of the best staffs in baseball.
