Wil Myers hits for second cycle in Padres history in win at Denver
DENVER -- Andy Green started screaming "three!" the moment Wil Myers ripped a line drive to the left-center gap leading off the eighth inning.
The San Diego slugger couldn't hear his manager because he was yelling, too. Sort of.
"I was screaming three to myself," Myers said. "Inside. I wasn't screaming out loud."
Myers stumbled around second base but easily made it to third for a triple that completed the first cycle of his career, and the Padres beat the Colorado Rockies 5-3 on Monday night.
Myers singled in the first, doubled in the third and homered in the sixth to help the Padres win for the third time in four games. Matt Kemp had the only other cycle in San Diego history on Aug. 14, 2015, also at Coors Field.
