Washington Nationals shortstop Cristian Guzman hit for the cycle against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday.
Guzman hit a solo home run in the first inning and a single in the second off Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw. Washington’s lone representative at this year’s All-Star Game, Guzman added an RBI double in the sixth off Ramon Troncoso and capped off the cycle with an RBI triple off Joe Beimel in the eighth.
The last Nationals player to hit for the cycle was Brad Wilkerson on April 6, 2005 against the Philadelphia Phillies.

I mention this because frequently, Nationals records are shown in a franchise (Montreal) context rather than a purely Washington one.
Also, there would be no cycle if Guzman hadn't tried to stretch a single into a double in the second inning (he was thrown out).
Triples hitter> HR hitter?
Low BB>High BB?
I don't get it. He had a single, got thrown out at second, and still had a single.
EDIT: I guess you meant there would have been no cycle if he had been safe? Or else I'm just missing something.
