Melky Cabrera Hits for the Cycle in Yankee Win

On a day when Yankee fans were remembering a sad anniversary for one of the franchise's legends, one of the current Bombers found his way into their record books with Melky Cabrera becoming the fifteenth Yankee in history to hit for the cycle in today's game against the White Sox. Cabrera got things started with a bang, hitting a three-run homer off the man who just last week got a call from the president following his perfect game, Mark Buehrle. He saved the toughest part of the cycle for his final at-bat, just barely beating out a throw coming in from right field for a triple in the ninth. He'd then score for the third time of the day on a Derek Jeter single, providing Mo Rivera with an insurance run in closing out the 8-5 victory. Melky is the first Yankee to hit for the cycle in fourteen years—the last player to do it was Tony Fernandez, marking perhaps the only memorable moment of his one year in The Bronx, back in 1995.
