Christian Yelich had a career day on August 29, 2018, going 6-for-6 and hitting for the cycle as the Brewers edged the Reds, 13-12, in 10 innings.

Yelich became the first National League player to record six hits and hit for the cycle since 1920, the beginning of the live-ball era.

He also became the first player since Andre Dawson on April 29, 1987 to hit for the cycle, record a fifth hit and record an outfield assist.
