CINCINNATI — Elly De La Cruz continues to make history in his first full season in the big leagues.

The 22-year-old is the fifth player in MLB history to hit 20 or more home runs and have 60 stolen bases in the same season.

De La Cruz stole third base on Wednesday night against the Blue Jays. He followed that up with his 22nd home run of the season.

De La Cruz finished with three hits, three RBI, three runs scored and one walk. He's quickly become one of the best players in baseball.
