The Atlanta Braves defeated the Miami Marlins at Marlins Park on Wednesday night by a score of 9-11. A key part of the victory in this game was first baseman Freddie Freeman, who hit the cycle with the Braves and the second in his professional career.
The 31-year-old veteran hitter had the hit, double, triple and home run off the Miami Marlins. The cycle officially came after the home run achieved in the sixth inning against Venezuelan pitcher Luis Madero.
Freeman hit 27 home runs this season in the major leagues and also became the first Atlanta Braves player to hit two cycles. This is how the official Major League Baseball Twitter account highlighted the historic moment of the American hitter. Relive the images!
