George Kottaras hits for the cycle this season

ByBaseball

George Kottaras, needing a two-bagger to become the first major leaguer to hit for the cycle this season, strokes an apparent triple, but accomplishes the feat when the ball bounces off of Tal’s Hill, a 20-degree angled incline located in centerfield, over the fence for an unexpected ground-rule double. The Brewers backstop also hit a solo homer in the fourth, a sixth-inning triple, and singled in the seventh in Milwaukee’s 8-4 victory of Houston at Minute Maid Park.

Left-handed starter Tom Milone hits a home run on the first pitch he sees in the big leagues. The 24 year-old southpaw’s three-run blast gives him a 5-0 lead at the time, but the rookie goes only 4.1 innings in his debut and doesn’t get the win in the Nationals’ 9-8 victory over New York.

The White Sox rough up Brad Penny for 8 runs over 5 innings, including home runs by Alexei Ramirez, Alejandro de Aza and Brent Morel, to take an 8 – 1 lead over the Tigers, but the Bengals stage a dramatic comeback. They claw back to enter the bottom of the 9th trailing 8 – 6, then Ryan Raburn hits a two-run homer to tie the score and Miguel Cabrera follows with a walk-off home run, both shots traveling well over 400 feet at Comerica Park. The 9th-inning power outburst earns Luis Marte his first major league win.
