A bruised right hand didn't have any effect on Christian Yelich. The Milwaukee Brewers designated hitter — named the National League's Player of the Week before Monday night's game against the Cincinnati Reds — was back in the lineup and continued his hot streak with a solo home run in the third inning to lift the Brewers to a 3-2 victory.

Riding Christian Yelich’s third-inning home run and more strong pitching, the Brewers knocked off the Reds, 3-2, on Monday night.

The Brewers try for their ninth straight win tonight as they again take on the Reds at Great American Ball Park.
