Hitting for the cycle is one of the hardest feats to accomplish in a baseball game and Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Evan Longoria became just the second player in team history to hit for the cycle with an assist coming from a crew-chief replay review in the 6-4 win over Houston.
After Monday’s lopsided 14-7 loss to Houston, the Rays needed to get a quick jump out of the gate and it began with Longoria’s first of four hits on the night and the first of the cycle when he launched his 17th home run of the season high and deep into the leftfield stands.
