Beltre Hits for the Cycle
At Metrodome 1994-2009 today, Adrian Beltre led Cleveland to a 17-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins by hitting for the cycle, one of baseball's more difficult feats.

"Usually the triple is the hardest one to get, but I was most worried about the homer today because the ball wasn't carrying," Beltre said later. "When I took it deep, I was expecting the ball to die on the warning track, so it was sweet seeing the ump give me the signal to circle the bases."

In addition to going 4-for-4, Beltre chalked up 6 RBI and scored 4 runs in an exceptional performance.

Adrian Beltre singled in the 1st, hit a three-run triple in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, hit a three-run home run off Brian Moehler in the 5th, walked in the 7th and walked in the 8th.

This year Beltre is hitting .305 with 35 home runs and 105 RBIs in 152 games played. He also boasts an OBP of .356 with 46 walks and 94 runs scored.
