Bryce Harper hits for the cycle in the fifth inning

sportsJun 20, 202621582

Bryce Harper hit for the cycle against the New York Mets, completing it with a triple in the fifth inning at Citizens Bank Park. Harper opened the game with a first-inning home run, collected a single and a double in the third, and capped the night with the fifth-inning triple to finish the cycle. It was Harper's first career cycle and came as Kyle Schwarber hit three home runs, with a 43,402 sellout watching the Phillies pour offense on the Mets. The performance matters because cycles are rare and this combination of Harper's milestone and Schwarber's power turned the game into a dominant offensive statement by Philadelphia.

Bryce Harper hit for the cycle in five innings tonight. He wanted it very, very badly out of the box. He raised his arms to the sky from third base.

With Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber, the Phillies are the second team in MLB history with players with a cycle and 3+ homer game in the same game, joining: 06/03/1932 NYY @ PHA: Tony Lazzeri (Cycle) & Lou Gehrig (4 HR) Both in Philadelphia !! h/t @EliasSports

I know this is not a typical thing for a Mets fan to say but I loved Mattingly as a kid and if he wins Manager of the Year again on the strength of telling Harper and Schwarber to hit the ball a lot, it will be good as hell to me

This is your reminder that, no matter how good he is at Sportsball, Bryce Harper is a diehard MAGA. Congratulations on doing the thing, but, your sport doesn't even have the major brain damage fig leaf to try to excuse your politics. You're just a regular, bad person.
