Watch: Red Sox OF Brock Holt hits for the cycle
Boston Red Sox utility man Brock Holt hit for the cycle on Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves.
It was the first cycle of the 2015 season and the first time a Red Sox player did it since John Valentin in 1996.
Holt doubled in the bottom of the first inning, singled in the fifth, hit a solo home run in the seventh and tripled to center in the eighth. His final line for the game, which Boston won 9–4, was 4-for-5 with two runs, two RBIs and 10 total bases.
Michael Cuddyer was the last player to accomplish the feat, doing so last August as a member of the Colorado Rockies. He was the only player to hit for the cycle in 2014.
