The 29-year-old tripled and singled in the fourth as part of a five-run inning and hit his third home run of the season in the seventh.
"When I was on the on-deck circle, I heard plenty of people saying it," Wilson said postgame, per Dan Gelston of The Associated Press. "Definitely knew. What I was doing was working, so I just kind of stayed with it."
He's the fourth player to hit for the cycle in MLB this season. Wilson and Xavier Edwards' cycles are the first time in MLB history that two or more rookies have hit for the cycle in the same season, according to MLB.com's Sarah Langs.
| Player | Team | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Wyatt Langford | Rangers | June 30 |
| Yordan Alvarez | Astros | July 21 |
| Xavier Edwards | Marlins | July 28 |
| Weston Wilson | Phillies | Aug. 15 |
Wilson's the second Phillie since 2004 to hit for the cycle. He joins catcher J.T. Realmuto, who accomplished the feat on June 12, 2023, against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Wilson's cycle is the first by a Phillies player at Citizens Bank Park since David Bell's on June 28, 2004. He's also the first rookie in franchise history to hit for the cycle.
