NEW YORK – Another Brewers offensive night was highlighted by a home run of the National League MVP winner Christian Yelich. The Brewers beat the Mets, 8-6, and won each of the first two games in this three-game series.

Yelich scored a win in the fourth inning against Noah Syndergaard of the Mets to take the lead in the Major League, with 14, breaking the tie with the Dodgers, Cody Bellinger.

Not only that, but Yelich also equaled Albert Pujols (2006) and Alex Rodriguez (2007) for the greatest number of circuits before May 1 in a single season of Major League history. It should be noted that Pujols was second in the MVP NL vote in 2006 and Rodriguez won the AL MVP award in 2007.

"It's pretty cool," Yelich said after the company match. He is now with the circuits before May 1st. "Obviously, these guys were very good baseball players, I did not really think about it … being with these guys is really an honor.

Saturday's deep fly also marked Yelich's first race of the road season, as well as its first regular season race since September 25, 2018 in St. Louis. Each of his last 16 home games in the regular season had arrived home before Saturday.

He was the first player to hit at least his first 13 home-season homerun since Dante Bichette had each of his first 17 home games in 1995, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

"I'm sure many people were wondering if it would happen again," Yelich joked after the match. "At least I'll have one this year on the road."

It was also Yelich's first career victory as a result of Syndergaard. By entering the evening, Yelich played 18 games against Syndergaard and only three hits, including a double.

Last year, during his season rewarded by MVP NL, Yelich had only achieved 11 homers in the first period, before achieving a remarkable performance in the second period.

"He has already spent a lot of memorable nights this season," said manager Craig Counsell after the game. "You like to watch players like this, that's the big thing … When you see a guy doing it often, you lose some of the surprise, but it's still not easy to do that. you recognize him. "

Saturday's team performance was an excellent example of how the rest of the Brewers can offer range protection to Yelich and help improve overall offensive production.

Lorenzo Cain, Mike Moustakas, Eric Thames and Ben Gamel each had several attempts in addition to Yelich's three-stroke evening. Gamel, who hit in ninth place of the order, was at the base four times and scored three times.

This kind of protection was not the norm for two weeks when the Brewers faced a 13-game challenge against the Dodgers and Cardinals. In fact, it was only the second game of the season in which the team had more than four players with several hits. Six players had several hits in the Brewers' 13-10 win against the Cubs on April 5th.

"It's really a guy for which you want to be on base," said Gamel after Yelich's match. "The way he's beaten for a few years, just get on the base and let him do the heavy lifting."

We never see him out of control. It controls all the assets, all the throws, it is impressive. "
