Boxified: Panda’s improbable cycle

The Kung Fu Panda ran as hard as he could toward third base, achieving an unlikely triple to complete a cycle as the Giants defeated the Rockies.

The Giants’ Pablo Sandoval hit for the cycle Thursday with a home run in the first, a single in the second, a double in the fifth and a triple in the sixth. Even a big guy without a lot of speed can reach all four bases if he hits the ball to the right spots and hustles.

A cycle is about as likely to happen as a no-hitter, typically occurring two or three times a year. There have been 292 cycles hit compared to 272 no-hitters thrown.

This year, Sandoval is the second player to hit for the cycle. The other one went relatively unnoticed when Milwaukee catcher George Kottaras completed one Sept. 3.
