BALTIMORE — Milwaukee Brewers star Christian Yelich has left the game in the second inning against the Baltimore Orioles with low back discomfort. The 32-year-old outfielder was removed defensively before the bottom of the second. He'd singled in the top of the first to raise his batting average to .333 early in the season. Yelich already has five home runs this year. He hit a career-high 44 homers in 2019 but has not surpassed 19 since then. Milwaukee led 3-0 when Yelich left the game.
