Yelich went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Rays.
Yelich homered and stole a base in the same game for the second time this week and the fourth time this season. He's struggled overall in May, though, going just 6-for-35 with a 1:13 BB:K in nine games.

Brewers' Christian Yelich: Shows off power, speed in victory
Rotowire
Yelich went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run, a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 5-1 win against the Astros.
Yelich hit the only home run in the contest, smashing a 413-foot, two-run shot to center field in the third inning. The veteran slugger also swiped a bag following an eighth-inning walk and subsequently came around to score. It was the second time this season that Yelich has homered and stolen a base in the same contest. That could be a sign Yelich is emerging from a rut that saw him go 1-for-20 with 10 strikeouts over his previous five games heading into Monday.

Brewers' Christian Yelich: Homers, swipes bag Wednesday
Rotowire
Yelich went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, an additional run and a stolen base in a 17-2 rout of the Rockies on Wednesday.

The star left fielder is slashing just .125/.300/.313 over 16 at-bats (five games), so he's cooled off quite a bit to begin the campaign after hitting .353 with three homers and 11 RBI over 36 plate appearances during spring training.
