Christian Yelich Delivers Puppies and Homers: A Day to Remember

ByThis Day in Baseball

Christian Yelich has a memorable day. First, before that night’s game against the Cardinals, he hand-delivers a new puppy to a couple of young girls, the result of a sign, which has since gone viral, that they had brought to the ballpark on March 30th. the sign stated that their dad would buy the older sister a puppy if Yelich hit a homer that day – which he had done. He then pads his home run total some more with the first three-homer game of his career, also driving in 7 runs, as the Brewers win, 10 – 7.

German Marquez throws the first complete game in the majors this season as he twirls a one-hitter to lead the Rockies to a 4 – 0 win over the Giants, snapping his team’s eight-game losing streak. Evan Longoria has the only hit against him, a single with one out in the 8th. Nolan Arenado hits a three-run homer to lead the offense, his first long ball of the year.
