Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner has a very versatile game offensively, and put that power/speed combo on display Tuesday night in an 11-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies at Nationals Park.
Turner went 4-for-5 with a single, double, triple, and home run. That’s what we like to call a cycle.

And this is actually the second time Turner has hit for a cycle against the Rockies. At just 26 years old, Turner becomes just the third player to hit for the cycle against the same team.
The @Nationals' Trea Turner has hit for the cycle for a 2nd time – both times against the @Rockies.
He becomes the 3rd player ever to hit for the cycle twice against the same team and the 1st since the @Brewers' Christian Yelich did it vs the @Reds last season.

Of course, the first cycle Turner had vs the Rockies came at Coors Field (in 2017), where cycles happen regularly.
But there’s no doubt Tuesday night’s was a very legitimate, well-earned cycle from the shortstop.
