Re: Cycle! Longoria earns feat after replay

HOUSTON -- Evan Longoria became the second player in team history to hit for the cycle when he did so on Tuesday night in the Rays' 6-4 win over the Astros at Minute Maid Park.

"[Cycles] obviously don't come very often, so I was definitely thinking about it," Longoria said. "I felt good at the plate from the beginning tonight. But it's tough when you're thinking about it. I probably would have been a little bit more confident or comfortable if I only needed a single. But it was kind of surreal."

Longoria stepped to the plate with two outs in the ninth needing a double to complete the feat.
