Elly De La Cruz nears 30-30 milestone in Reds victory

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz is on the verge of joining the elite 30-30 club after a standout performance in a 4-0 shutout victory against the Atlanta Braves. During the game, De La Cruz recorded his 29th stolen base and his 29th home run, leaving him just one of each away from the milestone.

In addition to De La Cruz’s offensive contributions, pitcher Brandon Williamson delivered a strong performance, throwing six scoreless innings and allowing only three hits. The Reds' victory was further bolstered by home runs from Dane Myers and Eugenio Suárez, the latter of whom hit his 350th career home run.

The game also saw Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. leave the contest after being hit by a foul ball. While he experienced significant discomfort, X-rays were negative, and he has been listed as day-to-day.
