Joe Burrow Praises Elly De La Cruz, Feels Excitement Building for Bengals, Reds and FC Cincinnati

De La Cruz is Cincinnati's newest star.

CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Reds have won 10-straight games and star rookie Elly De La Cruz is a big reason why. 

The 21-year-old has posted a .308 batting average and the Reds are 11-2 since they called him up from Triple-A Louisville. 

Even Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow feels the excitement around De La Cruz and the Reds.

"He’s exciting to watch. You kind of see how the city rallies around guys when they are up and coming and have a chance to be great," Burrow said last week. "It’s exciting that the city embraces you like that. Those guys over there are starting to feel it because they put together a little run here. That’s something we’ve felt and with FC Cincy, too, the energy in the city right now is exciting."

Burrow made those comments on June 13 after the Reds had won three-straight games. Since then they've rallied off seven more wins in a row and are in sole possession of first place in the National League Central Division. 

It's their first 10-game winning streak since 2012 and second longest winning streak in Major League Baseball this season.
