Hitting for the cycle is a big deal

Carlos Gomez hit for the cycle against the White Sox last night and he did it in reverse order, hitting a home run, triple, double, and finally... a single to complete the process. We didn't expect Gomez to be better than Delmon Young this year. Maybe in four years, but even then, we didn't see that coming.

No Twins player has hit for the cycle since Kirby Puckett did it back in 1986. We are pretty sure we saw that game on TV, but we don't remember the details.

To make the night even more unusual, Livan Hernandez pitched a complete game for the Twins. He's 5-1.
