WASHINGTON (AP) -Cristian Guzman became the second Washington National to hit for the cycle when he tripled in the eighth inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday night.
Guzman hit a solo homer in the first inning. The Nationals shortstop singled and was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double in the second inning. He had a run-scoring double in the sixth. His triple off reliever Joe Beimel scored pinch-hitter Aaron Boone, Guzman’s third RBI of the game.
The other National to hit for the cycle was Brad Wilkerson on April 6, 2005. It was the eighth cycle in franchise history, including the team’s days as the Montreal Expos. Wilkerson did it twice, once as an Expo and once as a National.
