Evan Longoria Hits for Second Cycle in Rays History

Evan Longoria hit for the cycle on Tuesday night in a 6-4 win over the Astros. The Rays third baseman knocked a double to left field in the ninth inning to complete the feat, notching the sixth cycle of the MLB season and just the second one in Rays history. Melvin Upton Jr. hit for the cycle for Tampa Bay on Oct. 2, 2009.

Longoria was initially called out at second after busting it to try and stretch a single into a double. A replay showed that he did indeed reach the corner of the bag before Jose Altuve could apply the tag, and Longoria was called safe after a review.
