JJ Bleday Hits for the Cycle | Amarillo News

JJ Bleday just did the impossible—hit for the cycle in a 11-5 Reds win over Arizona, marking his first career cycle and the franchise’s eighth all-time. After a rough stretch and a .217 batting average, the 28-year-old fourth-round pick turned heads with a double, triple, single, and game-sealing homer—his 21st of the season. Manager Terry Francona called it special, especially with the lead, while teammate Elly De La Cruz, who nearly pulled off a “twin cycle,” celebrated Bleday’s feat. Both players accounted for half of the team’s 16 hits, turning a night into an offensive explosion—and proving Bleday’s confidence is soaring after years of perseverance.
