Cincinnati Reds phenom Elly De La Cruz continues to dazzle

A Cincinnati de-light

Elly De La Cruz has breathed life into the Cincinnati Reds. The phenom hit for a cycle Friday, becoming the third player to do it in the first 15 games of his career. He is the youngest player since Cesar Cedeno in 1972 to accomplish the feat. The others who did it prior to de la Cruz, who is in game 15 were Cliff Heathcote (6) and Gary Ward (14). Oh, and his Reds have now won 12 in a row.
