 | Tuesday, September 15th, 2015: Reynolds Hits for the Cycle
You might say Carl Reynolds wore out his welcome with the Los Angeles (A) Angels. The shortstop gave them fits in today's 8-0 Cleveland victory by hitting for the cycle. "To hit for the cycle" is one of the rarest of feats in a baseball game. This occurs when a player hits a single, double, triple and homerun in the same game, getting every type of hit possible. Reynolds ended the day with 4 hits in 4 at-bats, 3 runs batted in and 4 runs scored.
Talking to reporters in the postgame interview, he said, "After the first three hits, I thought to myself, This could be the game I hit for the cycle. And I got lucky and did it."
C. Reynolds singled in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off M. O'Quinn in the 4th, hit an RBI double in the 6th and tripled in the 8th.
This season Reynolds is batting .349 with 13 home runs. He has scored 67 runs and driven in 44.
