Carson Kelly hits for the cycle

I apologize if this has already been posted:


Expectations for Kelly would be that he would be a veteran on the bench to inspire a Cubs team looking to make a postseason push this year while also spelling Amaya from time to time. Kelly did more than that on Monday night against the Athletics.

In the first major-league game for the Athletics at their temporary home in Sacramento, Carson Kelly hit for the cycle in an 18-3 routing. Kelly's first part of the cycle was a home run in the fourth inning. He then singled in the fifth and hit a double in the sixth. When he came up to bat again in the eighth inning, Kelly knew it would be a long shot.

Also had two walks. He came to bat needing a triple in the eighth. First player with March cycle. 17 catcher.

Triple in the 8th to close it out?
That is doing it in style!

Always liked him, but didn't mind moving him for Goldy. I feel like with our glut of catching prospects, one should be moved in the next year to address the needs that pop up after this season has played out.

Kind of odd to see guys like Kelly referred to as veterans but I guess it is true.
