What happened: Bryce Harper recorded the first cycle of his career for the Philadelphia Phillies, collecting a single, double, triple and home run in the same game. The Phillies marked the milestone as one for the history books.

Why it matters: The cycle is one of baseball's rarer single-game feats and the first of Harper's long career, adding another signature moment to his Phillies tenure. It is the kind of individual milestone that tends to anchor a franchise's season narrative.

What to watch: Watch whether Harper carries the hot streak into the Phillies' next series and how the lineup builds on the performance.
