Jake Cronenworth Hits for Cycle in Padres' Blowout Win Over Nationals

The city of Washington, D.C.., doesn't technically belong to a state. On Friday night, though, it was certainly part of the Crone Zone.

Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth was the star of San Diego's 24-8 rout of the Nationals, becoming the third player in franchise history to hit for the cycle. The 27-year-old doubled in the second inning, tripled in the third and hit a home run in the fifth before notching an infield single in the top of the sixth.

The 24 runs is a franchise record for the Padres, breaking the previous mark of 20.
