A former National League MVP, Yelich is now 33 years old. He's hitting .272 with 25 home runs, 86 RBIs and 15 stolen bases, while also carrying an .825 OPS. He pairs with Jackson Chourio and William Contreras to make one of the best trios in the National League, though Chourio is currently on the shelf with an injury.

The Brewers and Reds will play again on Saturday night with first pitch coming at 6:40 p.m. ET. Right-hander Quinn Priester will pitch for Milwaukee against Zack Littell.

Priester, acquired from the Boston Red Sox in April, is 11-2 with a 3.49 ERA.
