Gomez’s Cycle

Carlos Gomez hit for the second cycle of his career Saturday:

Gomez sent Jose Valdez‘s first-pitch heater onto the hill beyond center field. That followed a first-inning double, a single in the third and a triple to the gap in right-center in the fifth that sailed just beyond the reach of a sprinting Mike Trout. Two-run homers by Gomez and Rougned Odor backed the performance of Yu Darvish, who threw 125 pitches in six innings, as the Rangers beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-3.

“It’s exciting up there if you do that,” Gomez said, “and you can enjoy it when you win.”
His previous cycle came with the Minnesota Twins on May 7, 2008.

I guess cycles don’t carry that much cache anymore, because I didn’t see it mentioned until I went pretty far back in my news feed.
