Phillies prospect Maikel Franco hits for cycle in 4 at-bats

Jonathan Dyer / USA TODAY SPorts

Philadelphia Phillies prospect Maikel Franco completed the cycle Saturday in dramatic fashion. 

The 21-year-old third baseman blasted a solo shot in the sixth inning to complete the feat in just four at-bats. 

Franco led off the second-half of Triple-A Lehigh Valley's double-header against the Syracuce Chiefs with a double in the first inning, followed by a triple in the third and single in the fourth before belting his 14th home run of the season. 

The 50th ranked prospect by Baseball America, Franco is likely to join the Phillies this season once rosters expand in September.
