If you look back through the games in which a Yankees player has hit for a cycle, most of them have ended up blowout wins for the Bombers. If one player on his own produces a single, double, triple, and home run, then you’re already guaranteed a minimum of one run, and have likely been set up in a pretty good position a couple other times. Add in that there are eight other players in the lineup, all facing a pitching staff that has given up a cycle, and the recipe is there for most games featuring a cycle to end in a blowout.
