Texas Rangers rookie Wyatt Langford had an incredible performance during the team’s 11-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles on ESPN’s “Sunday Night Baseball.” The 22-year-old hit for the cycle, starting with a triple in the fourth inning, followed by a double in the fifth, a single in the sixth, and a home run in the eighth off Matt Krook.
This marked Langford’s first four-hit game in the major leagues, showcasing his talent on a national stage. With four home runs, nine doubles, and four triples, he has been an impactful player in his 58 games this season, despite missing time with a hamstring injury in May.
Langford is only the second rookie in Rangers’ history to hit for the cycle, following in the footsteps of Oddibe McDowell in 1985. The last Ranger to achieve this feat was Carlos Gomez in 2017. This performance was significant as Langford continued to make his mark in team history.
With a strong start to his career after being drafted in the first round last year, Langford’s success has been evident as he progresses through the ranks. His impressive cycle was a reminder of his potential and the impact he can have on the Rangers organization.
