Ridin' High: Baker Hits for Cycle Saturday, May 17th, 2059 Requiring speed, power and regular contact, the cycle is often seen as a test of a complete hitter. For Dave Baker, consider that test passed. The 27-year-old left fielder hit for the cycle at AT&T Park today to lead the Cincinnati Reds to a 6-0 win over the San Francisco Giants. All told, Baker delivered 4 hits in 5 at-bats with 2 RBI and 1 run scored. "It feels good of course, but I'm not going to kid anyone -- there's a lot of luck in hitting for the cycle," he said after the game. "Several unique things have to come together all in the same game." Dave Baker tripled in the 1st, flied out in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit a two-run home run off Beau St. John in the 8th and doubled in the 9th. For the year Baker is batting .265 with 9 home runs, 21 RBIs and 22 runs scored. View Boxscore View Game Log |
