Van Gilder Goes Cycling
Getting 4 hits in a game is no easy feat, but doing it to hit for the cycle is even more rare.

Brock Van Gilder of the Toronto Blue Jays pulled it off today at Fenway Park, going 4-for-4 against the Boston Red Sox. His batting escapades sparked the Blue Jays to a 6-5 victory.

Van Gilder tallied 2 runs and drove in 3 during the game. Hitting for the cycle is particularly rare because of the different skills required - enough power for a home run, enough speed for a triple and enough patience at the plate to see at least four hittable balls.

"It just happened," Van Gilder said to reporters after the win. "Must have been fate or something, I wasn't expecting it. Heck, I wasn't even really trying for it."

Brock Van Gilder hit a solo-shot off Jeremy Hernandez in the 2nd, tripled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th and hit an RBI double in the 7th.

To date this year Van Gilder is batting .289 with 26 home runs.
