It was a special day at Dodger Stadium for Andre Ethier at the plate, not only did he contribute to the Dodgers 8-2 win over the Rockies, he hit for the cycle.
"Boy, Andre had a game, didn't he? It's a rare player that has the talent to hit for the cycle. It takes speed, power and maybe a little luck, too. You don't see this happen very often." the Los Angeles (N) manager said.
Ethier went 4-4 on the day and had 5 runs batted in and 3 runs scored -- and he got his name in the record book, too.
A. Ethier doubled in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off J. Towers in the 5th, walked in the 7th and hit a two-run triple in the 9th.
A look at his 2010 stats shows Ethier with a .264 average, 4 home runs, 20 RBIs and 12 runs scored. He has played in 19 games.
