VIDEO: Christian Yelich Hits Mammoth Shot That Leaves PNC Park and Splashes Down in Allegheny River
By Karl Rasmussen
Christian Yelich is dead set on earning his second-consecutive NL MVP award, and while he's locked in a battle with Cody Bellinger, he's doing everything he can to pull ahead. Monday night, the Brewers' star launched a ball out of PNC Park, eventually touching down in the water of the Allegheny River.

He absolutely uncorked on that pitch, extending the Brewers' lead to three runs in the top of the ninth inning.
That was the swing of an MVP, and the Pirates have been handled by Yelich all game, as it was his second long ball of the evening.
