Walker Hits for Cycle Against Kansas City
Jared Walker was jubilant as the Texas Rangers left the field with a win, 9-8, over the Kansas City Royals. He had every right to be.

The 23-year-old first baseman hit for the cycle at Globe Life Field, had a 4-for-5 game and added 5 runs batted in and 2 runs to boot.

"It's too bad I can't do that every day," Walker said with a smile to reporters after the game. "It would do wonders for my batting average."

Texas manager Aaron Carter was "proud" of the first baseman's feat, but was not expecting it to happen.

"Cycles are tough because triples are tough," the skipper said. "As soon as the ball left the bat on that triple, guys were jumping off the bench for him. Honestly, I wasn't sure he was going to be able to leg it out."

Jared Walker hit a solo-shot off Ruben Benitez in the 2nd, flied out in the 3rd, singled in the 6th, hit a two-run triple in the 7th and hit a two-run double in the 8th.

Walker has collected 19 hits for the Rangers this year, 4 of them home runs. He has also netted 19 RBIs and scored 9 runs while batting .317.
