Giants Litwhiler Sizzles with Cycle
New York's Danny Litwhiler accomplished what few others have done -- he hit for the cycle, collecting a single, double, triple and home run in the same game.

For the day, Litwhiler finished 4-for-6 with 3 RBI and 1 run scored and helped the Giants knock off the Boston Braves 10-7 at Braves Field.

"I didn't even know I was about to hit for the cycle until after," Litwhiler told reporters following the game. "One of the guys mentioned it when I got back to the dugout."

Danny Litwhiler struck out in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, flied out in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Luis Tiant in the 7th, hit an RBI triple in the 8th and doubled in the 10th.

For the season Litwhiler is batting .262 with 38 hits and 6 home runs. He has scored 15 times and batted in 28.
