Giesbrecht on a Tear, Hits for Cycle
John Giesbrecht did everything he could for the Texas Rangers today -- literally.

The 28-year-old second baseman hit a single, a double, a triple and a home run for the Rangers, going for the cycle and helping them get past the San Diego Padres, 11-2, at Globe Life Park in Arlington.

"Yeah, I was some kind of hitter in this game," Giesbrecht reflected later. "It was like all I had to do was close my eyes and swing the bat."

In a game headed for the record books, Giesbrecht banged out 4 hits in 5 at-bats and totaled 2 RBI and 2 runs scored. Speaking with the press about the feat, he attributed it to "a lot of luck."

"A triple is so hard to hit," he said. "To just decide to get one in a game when you need it for a cycle, it's impossible. Usually something weird has to happen, the ball kicking past an outfielder or somebody falling down. There's a ton of luck in hitting for a cycle."

John Giesbrecht tripled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, struck out in the 4th, doubled in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Sean Rice in the 8th.

For the year Giesbrecht has hit at a .276 clip with 12 RBIs, 4 home runs and 13 runs scored.
