Video: Watch Twins' Jorge Polanco Hit for 1st Cycle of 2019 Season vs. Phillies

Adam WellsApr 5, 2019

Jorge Polanco got his weekend off to a great start by becoming the first Major League Baseball player to hit for the cycle in 2019 on Friday.ย 

The Minnesota Twins shortstop completed his masterpiece by hitting a double off Philadelphia Phillies reliever Adam Morgan down the left field line in the top of the seventh:

Per MLB.com's Do-Hyoung Park, Polanco hit the 11th cycle in Twins history and became their first player to do it since Michael Cuddyer in 2009.ย 

Polanco has established himself as a key player for the Twins since making his MLB debut in 2014. Last season, the 25-year-old had a career-high .345 on-base percentage (excluding his nine games across 2014-15) and slugged .427.ย 

Based on the early results for Polanco in 2019, highlighted by his cycle, he could be in store for even bigger things moving forward.ย  ย  ย  ย  ย ย
