Orioles OF Hays hits for cycle vs Nationals

BALTIMORE (AP) — Austin Hays has become the sixth player in Orioles history to hit for the cycle, an accomplishment he completed in the midst of a persistent rain shower. Facing Washington Nationals lefty Patrick Corbin on Wednesday night, Hays got an infield single in the first inning, hit a solo shot in the third and tripled in the fourth. That seemingly left the 26-year-old outfielder plenty of time to tack on the double that would make him the sixth player in Orioles history to hit for the cycle. A heavy rain stopped play for 44 minutes in the fifth inning. It was raining again in the sixth, when Hays cracked a double to center off Steve Cishek to complete the cycle
