Michael Cuddyer hit for the cycle on Sunday, becoming the first player to do so in the Major Leagues this season.

Cuddyer also became just the third player in history to accomplish cycles in both leagues. Bob Watson did it with the Astros (1977) and Red Sox (1979), and John Olerud with the Mets (1997) and Mariners (2001).

"That's what hitting is: It's assessing the situation and trying to execute to get that job done," Cuddyer said. "You can't just go up at the Major League level and blindly just swing the bat. You've got to be able to assess what the situation is and do your best to execute that job."
