Trea Turner Hits for Cycle vs. Rockies

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner hit for the cycle Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies.

According to ESPN Stats & Info, Turner became the ninth player in franchise history to hit for the cycle and the first National to do so since Cristian Guzman in 2008.

Turner was well on his way to the cycle with a single in the first inning and a double in the second. He then drilled the homer in the sixth and achieved the feat in dramatic fashion in the seventh with a bases-clearing triple.
