CINCINNATI — Elly De La Cruz continues to make history. He finished 4-for-5 on Tuesday night in the Reds' 8-2 win over the Marlins.

He's the 13th player in Reds history with consecutive four-hit games and the first since 2001 (Dmitri Young). He's also the youngest big league player to accomplish that feat since Cameron Maybin in 2008. Both stats courtesy of Sarah Langs of MLB.com.

De La Cruz is heating up at the right time and the Reds are 55-58 on the season following back-to-back wins over Miami.

Elly De La Cruz:

- 13th Reds player with consecutive 4-hit games since 1901 + 1st since 2001 Dmitri Young

- youngest MLB player with consec 4-hit games since Cameron Maybin in 2008

no Reds player nor any player as young as EDLC has had 3+ straight 4-hit games since 1901…yet https://t.co/lhgaqiW4gl
