Toronto Blue Jays’ second baseman Cavan Biggio hit for the cycle against the Baltimore Orioles Tuesday night at Camden Yards.
Striking out in his first at-bat, Biggio followed up with a two-run homer in the third inning, followed by a single in the sixth, a double in the eighth, and a two-run triple in the ninth, leading to an 8-5 win against the Orioles.
Biggio is the sixth player to accomplish the feat this season. He joins Jorge Polanco, Shohei Ohtani, Jake Bauers, Trea Turner, and Jonathan Villar. Biggio is also the third in franchise history to hit for the cycle – the first to do it on the road – joining Kelly Gruber in 1989 and Jeff Frye in 2001.
Biggio is the son of Hall of Famer Craig Biggio, who also hit for the cycle in 2002 against the Rockies. This accomplishment marks the second father-son combination to hit for the cycle, the first of which was Gary Ward in 1980 and his son Daryle Ward in 2004.
