Watch: Davis completes 8th cycle in Indians history

Rajai Davis completed the first cycle of his career Saturday during the ninth inning, when the Cleveland Indians outfielder singled off Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Roberto Osuna, becoming just the eighth player in franchise history to accomplish the rare feat.

Davis homered in the first, tripled in the third, and doubled in the seventh, before his one-out single in the top of the ninth made him the second player this season, Freddie Freeman was the first, to hit for the cycle.

The last Indians player to pull off the feat was Travis Hafner in 2003, while Davis is the only one in team history to cycle in reverse order, from homer to single.

Davis' leadoff blast in the first established a new high for the veteran outfielder, who needed less than half of the season (71 games) to surpass his previous mark of eight homers, set three times during his 11-year career.
