Xavier Edwards Becomes Second Marlin Ever To Hit For Cycle 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Jul 29, 2024 12:53 pm

Xavier Edwards became the second Miami Marlins player ever to hit for the cycle Sunday, as the rookie reached base on all five of his plate appearances.

Edwards also hit his first career home run in the club\'s 6-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Marlins hadn\'t had a player hit for the cycle until Luis Arraez accomplished the feat on April 11, 2023.

\"Really cool,\" Edwards said. \"Luis\'s the first, and we were teammates for about a month and a half last year. He\'s a great guy, great hitter and great teammate. Really cool to kind of follow in his footsteps and get the second one. Definitely very excited and very grateful for it.\"

Edwards was the eighth player ever to hit for the cycle during the same game in which he hit his first career homer, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
