The Tigers Carlos Guillen went 4-for-5 against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays with each hit being a different type - a single, double, triple, and a home run - which qualifies for the rare “cycle” of hits.  Guillen’s efforts were part of a 10-4 drubbing by the Tigers over the D-Rays, a win that matches the number of wins the Tigers had all last season (71).

Guillen became only the tenth Tiger to hit for the cycle, last accomplished by Arizona Diamondbacks SS/3B Damion Easley in 2001 when he played for Detroit.  Here’s a list of the ten that cycled:

Travis Fryman, July 28, 1993, vs. New York
