VIDEO: Christian Yelich Ties Game With Solo Shot off Astros' Roberto Osuna in Bottom of 9th
By Michael Luciano
Milwaukee Brewers star Christian Yelich didn't back down from Houston Astros closer Roberto Osuna in a one-run ball game in the bottom of the ninth. Yelich blasted a game-tying home run off the hard-throwing closer. Osuna challenged the 2018 NL MVP up in the zone, and he responded by belting it into the Miller Park bleachers.

Yelich is now tied with Mike Trout, Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger, and Mets rookie Pete Alonso atop the MLB leaderboard with 43 long balls.
The man who was once traded for Lewis Brinson has now become one of the best players in the game and one of the coolest customers when the chips are down and Milwaukee needs a big hit.
