Is there anything that Mookie Betts can’t do? The superstar outfielder for the Boston Red Sox checked another box on his list of accomplishments by hitting for the cycle on Thursday.
Betts is the 21st player in franchise history to hit for the cycle. The last Red Sox hitter to do it was Brock Holt in 2015. Betts is only the third leadoff hitter in franchise history to accomplish this statistical masterpiece, joining Holt and Leon Culberson.
“That’s my one thing. Mookie had to take it from me,” Holt joked to reporters after the game.
