Boston (AFP) - Brock Holt became the first Boston Red Sox player since 1996 to hit for the cycle helping the Red Sox to a skid-busting 9-4 win over the Atlanta Braves.
Holt on Tuesday went to the plate with two outs in the bottom of the eighth and laced a triple to the warning track in right center field.
He slid into the third base without a throw, the triple completing his collection for the night of a single, double, triple and home run.
The last Boston batter to hit one of each in a game was John Valentin on June 6, 1996.
