Trea Turner’s big night

Former NC State baseball player Trea Turner had a huge game for the Washington Nationals last night, hitting for the cycle while collecting seven RBIs. Turner tripled on a hard line drive down the left-field line in the seventh inning to complete the cycle, which was just the third in Nationals history.

Turner is the youngest player to hit for the cycle since 2013, and is the second-youngest player to ever tally seven RBIs and a cycle in the same game. It was Turner’s fifth game since returning from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for 10 games, and his big night helped propel the Nationals to a 15-12 win over the Colorado Rockies.
