Weston Wilson Hits for Cycle in Phillies Victory

Weston Wilson made history by hitting for the cycle in the Philadelphia Phillies' 13-3 victory over the Washington Nationals. Wilson tripled and singled in the fourth inning, homered in the seventh, and doubled in the eighth, making him the ninth Phillies player to achieve this feat and the first since J.T. Realmuto in 2023. This performance capped a strong offensive showing, with Alec Bohm and Nick Castellanos hitting consecutive home runs in the first inning and Zack Wheeler contributing a solid pitching effort. Wilson's achievement is notable as he became the first Phillies rookie to hit for the cycle and the second MLB rookie this season to do so, following the Rangers' Wyatt Langford. His journey to the majors was marked by perseverance, having played 706 games in the minors before his call-up last year.
