Mark Grudzielanek hits for the cycle in his first four at-bats in the St. Louis Cardinals’ 6 – 3 victory over Milwaukee. Grudzielanek is only the third Cardinals player to hit for the cycle at 40-year-old Busch Stadium, which is being demolished after this season. The others were Ray Lankford on September 15, 1991 against the Mets and Lou Brock on May 27, 1975 against the Padres.
