Nolan Arenado hit for the cycle vs. Philadelphia on Friday, the second of his MLB career. In doing so, he became the 17th player in Cardinals history to accomplish the feat.
The St. Louis third baseman got the hardest two hits out of the way early, first tripling in the first inning then crushing a two-run home run in the third.
Arenado secured the double in the sixth inning, leaving him a single away from the cycle. Down two in the eighth, in what could’ve been his final at bat of the game, Arenado hit a hard ground ball that ate up Matt Vierling.
