Trea Turner hits for the second career cycle vs. Rox
A smile crept across Trea Turner's face as he pulled into second base in the seventh inning of Tuesday night’s 11-1 win. A rowdy crowd of 22,612 fans at Nationals Park showered him with a standing ovation while the home dugout stood and cheered. This was all a familiar feeling for Turner, who had just hit for the cycle for the second time in his career (once again against the Rockies), making him just the 26th player in MLB history to accomplish the feat more than once and the third player to do so against the same team. But at that moment -- the middle of an eight-run seventh inning that catapulted the Nationals to victory over the Rockies -- what Turner felt most was a relief.
“I didn’t screw it up this time,” he said with a smile.
