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.

Elly De La Cruz homered, tripled and drove in three runs as the Cincinnati Reds defeated the New York Yankees 6-1.

The sample size is small but you could definitely argue the Cincinnati Reds responded well to the club's recent high-profile personnel moves.
