CINCINNATI -- Left fielder Marlon Byrd came close in Friday night's 6-1 win over the Tribe to doing something no one in a Reds uniform has done in more than 26 years -- hit for the cycle.
After homering in the second inning, singling in the third inning and stretching what appeared to be a single into a double in the fifth, he was a triple shy of the cycle when he stepped into the batter's box in the seventh. However, Byrd hit a grounder that just snuck under Francisco Lindor's glove for only a single to complete his night.
