Red-Hot Bat: Kasahara Collects Cycle
Yasuhide Kasahara of the Chicago Cubs touched all the bases today at Wrigley Field in the 14-3 victory over Minnesota, hitting for the cycle.

He teed off on Twins pitching, collecting 1 single, 1 double, 1 triple and 1 home run. The feat is rare in baseball as it requires a game of no fewer than four hits and the unusual combination of a home run, which requires a batter to hit for some power -- and a triple, which requires a batter to have both speed and a favorable fall of the ball.

"The hardest part was the triple," Kasahara confessed after the game. "A lot has to go right. It's real easy to get greedy trying to stretch a double and get thrown out. It's really hard to get a three-bagger."

He finished the big day with 4 hits in 5 at-bats, 4 runs batted in, 3 runs scored -- and a place in the record books.

Yasuhide Kasahara tripled in the 1st, grounded out in the 2nd, hit a two-run double in the 4th, singled in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off Juan Gomez in the 7th.

Currently Kasahara is hitting .378 and has collected 8 home runs, 61 RBIs and scored 70 times, while playing in 68 games.
