In what is proving to be a really fine rookie season for third baseman Mike Foster, new heights were reached today.
With a double in the second inning, a home run in the fourth, a single in the sixth, and a 2-run scoring triple in the eighth, Mike Foster hit for the cycle. It was just the 8th cycle in WPK history and the very first for a Brewer. For good measure Foster also hit a second double in the 9th inning to go 5 for 5 on the day. The pair of doubles gives him 6 for the season. It was his 4th HR and his 3rd triple.

Foster now has a slash line of .310/.332/.440 in his 196 plate appearances. He has performed solidly in the field. He is sixth on the team in WAR among position players, with more than 100 fewer PA's than everyone ahead of him on the list.

If he can keep this up he is most surely going to be the Brewers starting third baseman for years to come.
