Miami Marlins player Xavier Edwards made history on Sunday as he became only the second player in the team’s history to hit for the cycle. Despite the Marlins’ 6-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, Edwards had a memorable game.
The young player hit his first career home run on the first pitch of the game, showcasing his power right from the start. He then drew a leadoff walk in the third inning, showing patience and discipline at the plate. In the fifth inning, he doubled, and in the seventh, he tripled, demonstrating his ability to hit for all types of hits.
To complete the cycle, Edwards beat out an infield single against two-time NL reliever Devin Williams with two outs in the ninth inning. This impressive feat made him reach base on all four of his plate appearances in the game. He also contributed with two runs and one RBI, showing his overall impact on the game.
Before last year, the Marlins had never had a player hit for the cycle, making Edwards’ achievement even more significant. The only other Marlins player to accomplish this feat was Luis Arráez, who did so in a game against the Philadelphia Phillies in April 2023.
Edwards’ performance not only made history for the Marlins but also showcased his talent and potential as a player in Major League Baseball. Fans and analysts alike are excited to see what else he can achieve in his career.
This milestone for Xavier Edwards adds to the excitement surrounding the Marlins this season. As the team continues to develop young talents like Edwards, the future looks bright for Miami baseball fans.
