Brewers: Christian Yelich Homers For Second Straight Game

By TheNaturalMevs on August 8, 2020

The Milwaukee Brewers aren’t much to look at on paper. Therefore, it’s alright to realize that their star Christian Yelich is struggling because he’s not getting a lot of pitches to hit. That is, unless it’s an 8-1 ballgame and he decides to leave out the backdoor at Miller Park in Milwaukee.

And I love this caption from the Brewers official twitter account commemorating Yelich’s third home run of the season.

In the end, the Brewers lost to Trevor Bauer and the Reds 8-3. In fact, it was 6-0 before the Brewers even really blinked. I overestimated what this collection of rusty toys could accomplish perhaps.

Still, I expect Yelich to feel his way back to respectability over the next month or so and finish with solid numbers in this abbreviated, perversion of a season that is MLB in 2020.
