Elly De La Cruz joins 30-30 club as Reds blow big lead late and lose

Elly De La Cruz became the first Cincinnati Reds player since Barry Larkin in 1996 to achieve 30 homers, 30 steals, and 30 doubles in a single season, joining Larkin as the only two players in franchise history to reach those milestones. De La Cruz's 30th steal came in a game against Toronto, making him just the fourth Red ever to record a 30-30 season in homers and steals. Despite De La Cruz's achievement, the Reds squandered a 5-2 lead as their bullpen faltered, resulting in a 6-5 loss to the Blue Jays.
