CHICAGO — The Phillies haven’t had a player hit for the cycle since June 28, 2004, when David Bell did it at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies were playing the Montreal Expos that day, a team that has since relocated to Washington D.C. It’s been a while.
It seemed like Bell’s streak would end on Wednesday at Guaranteed Rate Field. Trea Turner, snapping an 0-for-8 skid in Tuesday’s doubleheader, went 3 for 5 with two RBIs, but fell a triple shy of the cycle. He hit his first home run as a Phillie in the first inning off White Sox pitcher Mike Clevinger.
The Phillies bounced back from a one-hit performance in a 3-0 loss in Game 2 of a doubleheader on Tuesday with nine hits in a 5-2 victory over the White Sox on Wednesday. They won two of three games in the series and head home to play the Rockies on Thursday night with an 8-11 record.
