Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner celebrated his 28th birthday in style on Wednesday by hitting for the cycle in a 15-6 victory, doing so by the sixth inning against the Tampa Bay Rays at Nationals Park.
Turner, who later left the game with a finger injury, is the first player in Major League Baseball's modern era (since 1900) to hit for a cycle on his birthday, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.
It's the third cycle of Turner's career, which is the most in Montreal Expos/Nationals franchise history, and ties the major league record for most cycles in a career.
