BALTIMORE — Texas Rangers rookie Wyatt Langford hit for the cycle Sunday night against the Orioles, completing the feat with a three-run home run down the left field line in the eighth inning.
It was the first four-hit game of his career for Langford, who was selected last year by the Rangers with the fourth overall pick and made a quick rise to the majors to make Texas' Opening Day roster this season.
It was the first cycle in the Major Leagues in 2024.
Langford tripled in the fourth, doubled in the fifth and singled in the sixth.
At 22 years, 229 days, Langford is the youngest player in Rangers history to reach the cycle. He is the 15th rookie to reach the cycle since Major League Baseball established an official definition of rookie status in 1958.
The only other rookie in Rangers history to hit for the cycle was Oddibe McDowell, in 1985 against Cleveland. He got his in the 59th game of his career; Langford had his in the 60th game of his career.
