The Cincinnati Reds haven’t had a player hit for the cycle since 1989. But on Monday at Great American Ball Park, two players finished the game one hit away from that milestone.
Shortstop Kyle Farmer and second baseman Max Schrock each had the best game of their careers to lead the Reds to a blowout win.
Behind eight combined RBI from Farmer and Schrock, the Reds beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 11-1, in front of 17,878 fans at Great American Ball Park.
“That’s what a team is all about,” Reds manager David Bell said. “(For) the entire lineup and Wade (Miley) and the bullpen all to come through like that, it was a great day.
