In what has been a dismal season for the Seattle Mariners, who currently sit at 57-96, slugger Liam McGurk gave Mariner fans something to smile about on September 20th vs. Boston, when he went 4-6, with a single, double, triple, and a home run. One of the rarest plays in baseball, McGurk’s historical night is the 3rd cycle this year, the other two belonging to Kevin Gheorghe of the Padres and Julio Gouea of the Braves. McGurk’s contract will expire this year, and it’s widely expected that the Mariners do not have the cash to resign him.
McGurk’s four RBIs on the night helped contribute to a 10-4 win over the worst team in baseball, the Boston Red Sox.
