Baltimore Orioles shortstop Jonathan Villar hit for the cycle on Monday when he singled off New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman in the bottom of the ninth.
Villar also tripled in the third, doubled in the fifth, and homered in the sixth, but the Orioles ultimately lost the game 9-6.

Villar became the fifth player in the majors this season to accomplish the feat after the Los Angels Angels' Shohei Ohtani, Cleveland Indians' Jake Bauers, Minnesota Twins' Jorge Polanco, and Washington Nationals' Trea Turner.
The 28-year-old is the first Orioles player to complete the cycle since Felix Pie in 2009, according to Dan Connolly of The Athletic.
