Weston Wilson became the first rookie to hit for the cycle in Phillies history on Thursday in their victory over the Washington Nationals.
All Weston Wilson needed was a double for the cycle. The Philadelphia Phillies were up eight runs on the Washington Nationals and got a helpful tip from superstar teammate Bryce Harper. 'Harper was at the top letting me know, if you hit it, keep running. Don’t stop until second.' Wilson said, laughing. In the eighth inning, the 29-year-old rookie lined a ball into right field. The right fielder Alex Call couldn’t come up with it on a diving attempt.
’m just trying to put good at-bats together whenever I get the chance.' If he keeps hitting like this, Wilson could play a big role in the Phillies' postseason chase for a World Series in October. The Phillies play the Nationals again on Friday at 6:40 p.m. ET. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
