Trea Turner Ties MLB Record With 3rd Career Cycle in Nationals vs. Rays
Most players will never hit for the cycle in their MLB careers. Great players, even. Babe Ruth never did it. Willie Mays and Ken Griffey Jr. never accomplished the feat, either.
Trea Turner did so for the third time Wednesday—at the age of 28—tying an MLB record:

Oh, and he did it on his birthday, no less:
Turner was 4-for-4 with four runs, an RBI and two stolen bases. He posted a single in the first inning, a double in the third, a homer in the fourth and a triple in the sixth.
His previous cycles came in 2017 and 2019.
Leading 11-5, the Nationals pinch hit Ryan Zimmerman for Turner in the bottom of the seventh inning.
He's having yet another excellent year, hitting .318 with 14 home runs, 38 RBI, 18 stolen bases and 50 runs. He seems like a lock to earn his first All-Star Game nod this season after finishing seventh in National League MVP voting a year ago.
Turner is a star. And he's one of the few players who can say they achieved a feat Ruth and Mays never matched.
