The 23-year-old's accomplishment comes the day after Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani became the first Japanese-born MLB player to hit for cycle. According to Stats by STATS, it marks just the third time in league history there have been cycles on back-to-back days.
The last time it happened was in 1912.
It's certainly a highlight for Bauers, who held a .209 batting average entering Friday's action.
