Goto Shows Off, Hits for Cycle
Requiring speed, power, and regular contact, the cycle is often seen as a test of a complete hitter. For Naruhiko Goto, consider that test passed.

The 29-year-old center fielder hit for the cycle at Rio de Janeiro Grounds, to help the Rio de Janeiro Jaguars triumph, 10-2, over the Santo Domingo Palmchats. All told, Goto delivered 4 hits in 5 at-bats with 3 runs batted in and 2 runs scored.

"It feels good of course, but I'm not going to kid anyone -- there's a lot of luck in hitting for the cycle," he said after the game. "Several unique things have to come together all in the same game."

Naruhiko Goto hit a two-run home run off Kent Martin in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, hit an RBI triple in the 6th and grounded out in the 8th.

Goto is swinging at a .350 pace on the year with 9 home runs, 34 RBIs and 40 runs scored. He has played in 71 games.
