Un-four-gettable: Rollins Hits for 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 home run in the same game, getting every type of hit possible. Jimmy Rollins grabbed a piece of baseball history today when he hit for the cycle. Rollins went 4 for 4 with 4 RBI and 2 runs scored against Minnesota, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 12-1 win at Target Field.
“I felt comfortable at the plate in a way I haven’t felt all season,” Rollins said after the game. “It was like they were throwing beach balls at me. The ball seemed that big to me. And it just floated in.”
Jimmy Rollins doubled in the 1st, walked in the 3rd, hit a GRAND SLAM off Casey Fien in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, tripled in the 7th and walked in the 9th.
This year Rollins is hitting .313 with 8 home runs.
