MILWAUKEE -- Brandon Nimmo hit for the cycle. Sort of.
Nimmo opened Thursday's game against the Brewers with a double and a triple in his first two at-bats, after homering and singling in his final two at-bats Wednesday against the Marlins. All told, he reached base in five consecutive plate appearances, including a walk on Wednesday.
Nimmo's long solo homer The Mets have not had an actual cycle since Scott Hairston achieved the feat -- which is only slightly more common than a no-hitter -- on April 27, 2012.
