    Wilson had the 10th cycle in Phillies history – Chuck Klein did it twice – and became the first home player to accomplish the feat at Citizens Bank Park since David Bell in 2004.

    Wilson played 706 games in the minors before he was called up last season and homered in his first big-league at-bat – against the Nationals.

    “He’s basically hit us pretty hard. He’s done a great job for them,” Nationals manager Dave Martinez said.

    Wilson had just 16 at-bats and 22 plate appearances last season, officially making him the first rookie in Phillies history to hit for the cycle.

    This is also the first time in major league history multiple rookies hit for the cycle in the same season, according to ESPN Stats & Information. The Rangers‘ Wyatt Langford accomplished the feat on June 30.
