In this story:

CINCINNATI — Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz stole four bases in Cincinnati's 2-1 loss to the Rays on Sunday.

He's just the third player in Reds history that has stolen four bases in multiple games in the same season. Billy Hamilton and Gary Redus also accomplished that feat.

De La Cruz has 55 stolen bases. It's the most for a Reds player since Hamilton in 2017. If he gets to 60 steals, it'll be the most since Eric Davis stole 80 bases in 1986.
