Elly De La Cruz wasted little time making history on Monday night as he crushed a 443-foot solo home run in the 1st inning. That gave him eight homers and 17 steals in April. He’s the only player to have that many home runs and that many steals in any month since at least 1901 according to Sarah Langs. Joe Morgan is the only other player in history with at least eight home runs and 15 steals in a month (August of 1976).
