Great Day for Burnes, Hits for Cycle Tuesday, May 31st , 2039 The Philadelphia Phillies topped the Tampa Bay Rays by a score of 7-4 at Tropicana Field today but all the talk was on first baseman Chris Burnes. The Philadelphia star hit for the cycle in a show-stealing performance, powering his club to the win. Burnes went 4-for-5, collecting 1 single, 1 double, 1 triple and 1 home run to go along with 1 run batted in and 4 runs scored. "I felt comfortable at the plate in a way I haven't felt all season," Burnes said after the game. "It was like they were throwing beach balls at me - the ball seemed that big. And it just floated in." Chris Burnes tripled in the 1st, grounded out in the 2nd, singled in the 5th, doubled in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Ed Burns in the 8th. Burnes is hitting .174 this season with 12 home runs, 16 RBIs and 35 runs scored. He has 31 hits in 178 at-bats. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
