Elly De La Cruz hit his 30th home run of 2026 in Thursday’s series finale against the Atlanta Braves, leaving him one stolen base short of a 30-30 season. His 402-foot shot off Tyler Mahle helped Cincinnati turn a 4-2 deficit into a 5-4 lead in the third inning.
The article says 51 players have reached the 30-homer, 30-steal mark in MLB history. Cincinnati’s previous members of that group are Barry Larkin, Eric Davis and Brandon Phillips.
