Wyatt Langford has officially arrived after making Sunday Night Baseball history.

The Texas Rangers and Baltimore Orioles put on a great show on Saturday night as the Rangers tried to snatch a series split following two losses to one of the best teams in baseball. Orioles rookie Heston Kjerstad’s grand slam proved insurmountable, even after solo homers from Nathaniel Lowe and Adolis García that got the Rangers within one by the time the game came to a close.

On Sunday night, in primetime, as Texas tried to avoid a sweep, a Rangers rookie shot right back. Wyatt Langford made it clear that he would be Texas’ player of the night by the top of the sixth, when he singled to put himself just a homer away from the cycle — possibly the first we’d see this season. He got arguably the hardest part of it done first, with a triple in his second at-bat, then he doubled to score a run in the fifth.

After the single, we were officially on watch, as he was guaranteed to get another at-bat. With Robbie Grossman and García on, Langford watched the first pitch from Orioles reliever Matt Krook hit the dirt before managing to square up a cutter that probably would’ve been called a ball, sending it 404 feet into the left field seats to complete the first cycle of the season, of Langford’s career, and of any Texas Ranger since Carlos Gomez did it against the Angels seven years ago.
