Un-four-gettable: Grieve Hits for Cycle
Ben Grieve punished the Toronto Blue Jays today, leading the Tigers to a 8-1 win. In doing so, Grieve hit for the cycle, tagging the Blue Jays for 4 hits in 4 at-bats.

A player hitting a single, a double, a triple and a home run in the same game is one of the more unusual feats in professional baseball and typically happens only a couple times per season.

"Well, I didn't expect that to happen," the Detroit right fielder said after the game. "I got some great pitches and I hit their mistakes."

Grieve also had 4 RBI and 3 runs scored in the game at Tiger Stadium.

Ben Grieve hit an RBI single in the 1st, hit an RBI triple in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th and hit a two-run home run off Mike Hartley in the 7th.

So far this season Grieve is hitting .298 with 23 home runs.
