The Cincinnati Reds beat the New York Yankees 6-1 on Monday at Great American Ball Park. Just two years after Reds’ star shortstop Elly De La Cruz hit for the cycle on June 23, 2023, he was a double away from the cycle on Monday night. “I love it,” Reds manager Terry Francona said. De La Cruz said he loves playing teams like the Yankees and Dodgers, but he plays the game the same way every day.
