  "account": "PHOENIX – Cincinnati Reds signed outfielder JJ Bleday after his release by the Athletics, and he made history on August 22, 2026, becoming the first Reds player since 2023 to hit for the cycle. Bleday, who led off the sixth inning with a first-pitch line-drive over the right-field wall, accomplished this feat against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This marked the eighth Reds player to achieve this milestone, with the first happening in 1890. Bleday's performance, which included doubling, tripling, and singling in the first three at-bats, also earned him the National League Player of the Month award for May. This achievement ties him to a distinguished list of Reds players who have hit for the cycle, including Heinie Groh in 1915 and Elly De La Cruz in 2023. Bleday signed a one-year, $1.4 million deal with the Reds, and his stint remains under club control for the upcoming season.",
  "summary": "When Cincinnati Reds outfielder JJ Bleday lined the first pitch of the sixth inning over the left field wall, he earned the 8th cycle in Reds history.",
