JJ Bleday Hits for the Cycle | Cincinnati Reds News

JJ Bleday just etched his name in Reds history by hitting for the cycle for the first time in his career — and it couldn’t have been more dramatic: a double, triple, single, and home run in a 11-5 road win over Arizona. It was also his fourth-hit game of the season, and while the crowd in Phoenix stayed quiet, his teammates went wild. Bleday joins an elite Reds club — only eight players have ever done it for the franchise, with teammate Elly De La Cruz being the last in 2023. Even more impressive? De La Cruz nearly joined him Saturday, falling just one triple short. Bleday is now the fourth MLB player to hit for the cycle this season — joining Pete Crow-Armstrong, Bryce Harper, and Tristan Peters — making this a historic year for cycle hitters.
