Aaron Hill Hits for the Cycle ... Again

Less than two weeks after hitting for a cycle Arizona Diamondbacks 2B Aaron Hill has done it again becoming the first player in more than 80 years to hit two cycles in one season. 

Hill's first cycle came on June 18 versus the Seattle Mariners. In that game he went 4-4. He accomplished the cycle in this following order: single, triple, double and finally the homer.

Last night versus the Brewers Hill went 4-5 in hitting for the cycle. This time he started with a double, then singled, hit a homer and had the hardest hit remaining, the triple, which he got in the 6th inning. Hill struck out in the 8th to end his evening.

There have been 294 cycles in Major League history and only three times - before Hill accomplished the feat this season - had a player hit for two cycles in a season. John Reilly (1883), Tip O'Neill (1887) and Babe Herman (1931).

Hill is now one cycle shy of being tied for the most career cycles in MLB history.
