TORONTO (AP) — Elly De La Cruz homered and became the fifth player since 1901 to have at least 20 home runs and 60 stolen bases in a single season, and the Cincinnati Reds overcame a six-run deficit to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 11-7 on Wednesday night.

“That’s us,” De La Cruz said. “We never give up. Down six, it doesn’t matter. We fight until the last out.”

Spencer Steer hit a two-run home run, and Noelvi Marte and Jonathan India also connected as the Reds took two of three from Toronto.

“Anytime you can score 11 unanswered is usually a good thing,” Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson said.

After striking out in his first at bat, De La Cruz reached base four times.

He stole third base in the fifth inning, his majors-leading 60th.

De La Cruz added his 22nd homer, a solo shot off Zach Pop in the eighth.

“It’s unbelievable what he can do day in and day out,” Stephenson said.

De La Cruz said he was happy about joining the exclusive 20-homer, 60-steal club.

“It means a lot,” he said. “That’s why I’m working in the offseason. I feel so proud and so happy.”

Atlanta’s Ronald Acuña Jr. became the fourth player to join the 20-homer, 60-stolen base club last season, when he hit 41 home runs and stole 73 bases.

Acuña became the first to do it since Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson in 1990.

Henderson also did it in 1985 and 1986.

De La Cruz is the third Reds player on the list.

Former Cincinnati star Eric Davis had 27 home runs and 80 stolen bases in 1986.

Reds great and Hall of Famer Joe Morgan had the first 20-homer, 60-steal season in majors history in 1973, hitting 26 homers and stealing 67 bases.

Morgan did it again in 1976, hitting 27 homers and stealing 60 bases.

Toronto’s George Springer hit the 60th leadoff home run of his career, and the Blue Jays added two more homers off right-hander Nick Martinez in the first three innings, but couldn’t hold on.

Spencer Horwitz hit a two-run drive in the first, his eighth.

Ernie Clement made it 6-0 with a three-run blast in the third, his ninth.

Clement went 2 for 4.

He also homered on Monday.

“He’s turned into an everyday player for us for the first time in his career, and he’s handled it great,” manager John Schneider said.

Steer started the comeback by homering off Blue Jays right-hander Yariel Rodríguez in the fourth, his 19th, and the Reds grabbed the lead with a five-run fifth.

India chased Rodríguez with an RBI-single, and De La Cruz greeted left-hander Brendon Little (1-2) with a two-run single before scoring on Stephenson’s fielder’s choice grounder.

Santiago Espinal capped the 11-batter inning with a bases-loaded walk against right-hander Erik Swanson.

Marte and India hit back-to-back homers off Swanson in the sixth, and Stephenson added an RBI-double.

Marte’s homer was his fourth, while India hit his 12th.

Emilio Pagán (3-3) pitched one inning for the win.

Rodríguez allowed five runs and six hits in 4 1/3 innings.

He is winless in seven starts.

Martinez allowed a season-high six runs and six hits in 4 1/3 innings.

Springer’s leadoff homer was his third of the season.

He ranks second to Hall of Famer Rickey Handerson (81) on the career list.
