Many people thought they had seen the peak of Luis Arraez. Coming into Tuesday’s game hitting .500, it would’ve been hard to further improve upon his performance in the first month of his Marlins career. But the 26-year-old continues to raise the bar.
Just 18 games into his Marlins tenure, Arraez hit for the cycle. A feat that no Marlins had accomplished in the team’s 30-year history. But in the 4,700th game for the franchise, Arraez came through. He came to the plate in the eighth inning needing only a single to achieve the feat that all other 29 MLB teams had accomplished at least once.
