Toronto beats Texas, 11 – 3, as Jeff Frye becomes the second Blue Jay ever to hit for the cycle. Frye’s final hit of the evening is a liner to deep right-center that, in other circumstances, might have gone for a double. But with his team safely in the lead, Frye stops at first to record a single and give himself a cycle, as the hit allows Homer Bush to score easily from first abse. After the game, Frye finds a bicycle leaning against his locker, the traditional reward for the feat. Kelly Gruber is the only other Toronto player to accomplish the feat.
