Classic Mariners Games: Jay Buhner Becomes First Mariner to Hit for the Cycle
Jay Buhner became the first Mariner in club history to hit for the cycle on June 23, 1993 vs. Oakland, and he completed the feat in dramatic fashion.
In the bottom of the 1st, Buhner belted a grand slam off Kelly Downs — the 4th of his career — vaulting the Mariners to a 5–1 lead over the Athletics.
When the ballgame was said and done, Buhner became the first player to hit a grand slam as part of a cycle in almost 60 years. He was the first to do so since Hall of Famer Jimmie Foxx on August 14, 1933 at Cleveland, as Foxx totaled 9 RBI and hit a grand slam off Willis Hudlin in the 2nd inning.
