So he got to the ballpark for some early batting practice, then switched his bat to a heavier model usually reserved for workouts.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=3629\">Oklahoma a win away from national title after roughing up North Carolina ace in Game 1 of CWS finals<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The result was his first career cycle in the major leagues on a night when his Philadelphia Phillies teammate Kyle Schwarber hit three home runs \u2013 two in the same inning \u2013 in a 15-3 win over the New York Mets.<\/p>\n<p>Harper had been struggling, with one hit in his last seven games. He opted to change bats to a 35-ounce model that he has had for a while but never used in a game. And he got in the batting cage early.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was trying to hit homers,\u201d Harper said. \u201cJust trying to have some fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sure enough, he hit a home run in his first at-bat, a solo shot off Mets starter Freddy Peralta. Then, he had a double and a single in the Phillies\u2019 eight-run third inning. In the fifth, he sprinted out of the box on a liner into left-center field. Trea Turner and Schwarber scored ahead of him and Harper slid into third while the throw went home.<\/p>\n<p>Harper had just the 11th cycle in Phillies history and the first since Weston Wilson on Aug. 15, 2024. The triple was only the eighth Harper has hit in eight seasons in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got close a couple of times,\u201d Harper said. \u201cBut being able to do that and having that moment was really, really cool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harper, who finished 4 for 5 with three RBIs and two runs, is the second player this season \u2014 and this week \u2014 to hit for the cycle, joining the Chicago Cubs\u2019 Pete Crow-Armstrong, who accomplished the feat Monday night in a 5-4 win over Colorado.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=3627\">Come inside Iran\u2019s World Cup hotel in Tijuana, Mexico, where fans turn up to cheer<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Phillies\u2019 third-inning offensive outburst was powered by Schwarber, who became the 67th player in major league history to hit two home runs in an inning. He\u2019s the second this season, joining Houston\u2019s Yordan Alvarez on June 12, and the fourth in Phillies history with Trea Turner (Aug. 19, 2023), Von Hayes (June 11, 1985) and Andy Seminick (June 2, 1949) also accomplishing the feat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was cool,\u201d Schwarber said. \u201cFirst time I\u2019ve done it in my career. I think it was a pretty cool overall night in general.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schwarber led off the third with a solo home run off Peralta that traveled 456 feet into the second deck in right field. He added a three-run homer off Cionel Perez into nearly the same spot, flying 457 feet.<\/p>\n<p>Schwarber hit his major league-leading 28th homer of the season in the seventh inning off Tobias Myers, a two-run shot just inside the foul pole in right. He finished 4 for 5 with six RBIs and four runs scored.<\/p>\n<p>The Phillies are just the second team in MLB history to have a player hit for the cycle and at least three homers in the same game, joining Tony Lazzeri and Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees on June 3, 1932.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were wondering that in the dugout,\u201d Harper said. \u201cWe didn\u2019t think there was going to be two guys that did it. But to have those two names up against ours is pretty cool. It\u2019s a pretty awesome moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=3625\">Undav scores twice, saves Germany with 2-1 World Cup win over Ivory Coast<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014<\/p>\n<p>AP MLB: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/mlb<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PHILADELPHIA (AP) \u2014 Bryce Harper was looking to change things up Saturday.
