VIDEO: Christian Yelich Rocks Remarkable 18th Home Run of Season to Widen Gap With George Springer
By Parker White
So, Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich can only hit home runs at home in Miller Park? Think again, because for the second time in Philadelphia on Thursday, he went bridge. This marks his 18th home run of the season, widening his MLB lead. And it was a no-doubter:
And then there were 18. #ThisIsMyCrew pic.twitter.com/0krSHaGSML

It's only May 16th and he already has 18 homers? I think Yelich was selling himself short when he said in that "Let the Kids Play" MLB commercial that he'd hit 50 long balls. It seems crazy, but he's going deep on a regular basis and doesn't show signs of slowing down.
Remember when Christian Yelich boldly claimed he would hit 50 home runs this year in that MLB commercial?

Doesn't seem that bold anymore lol
If he's going to do this on the road, what do you think he'll do playing his home games in that launching pad? He's getting to a point where teams can't pitch to him and managers should be putting up four fingers.
