'Hitting for the cycle' means a batter scoring a single, double, triple and home run in the same game across at least four at-bats. These can come in any order. The 'natural cycle' means the batter scores a single, double, triple and home run in that order in the same game. A reverse natural cycle is the same as a natural cycle, but in reverse order: a home run, a triple, a double and a single in that order in the same game. There can be other results from additional at-bats, but the four qualifying hits that make up the natural cycle or reverse natural cycle must be in the prescribed order. To date, there have only been three reverse natural cycles in MLB: Jim Fregosi, for the California Angels, against the Boston Red Sox in Anaheim, May 20th 1968 (Angels won 5-4). Luke Scott, for the Houston Astros, against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Houston, July 28th 2006 (Diamondbacks won 8-7 in 11 innings). Carlos Gómez, for the Minnesota Twins, against the Chicago White Sox in Chicago, May 7th 2008 (Twins won 13-1).
