INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A pair of Pittsburgh Pirates minor leaguers put up an astonishing stat line Tuesday night.Kevin Newman and Jacob Stallings completed cycles three batters apart for the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians in a 12-5 win over the Lehigh Valley IronPigs.Newman hit a solo homer in the eighth inning to finish his first career cycle with his fifth hit of the game. Later in the inning http://www.raysfanproshop.com/authentic-blake-snell-jersey , Stallings legged out his first triple at any level since 2015 on a drive to right-center field. It was also the first career cycle for Stallings, who has played in the majors each of the past three seasons.The last Indianapolis player to hit for the cycle was current Pirate Josh Bell on April 22, 2016.This was the second time minor league teammates hit for the cycle in the same game this season. Giants prospects Gio Brusa and Jalen Miller did it for Class A San Jose in April. The feat has never been accomplished in the majors. Bench coach Mark McGwire is leaving the San Diego Padres to spend more time with his family, according to Jeff Sanders of the San DiegoUnion-Tribune.McGwire has served on manager Andy Green's coaching staff sinceDec. 2015. That staff is undergoing major changes this offseason Rob Refsnyder Jersey , however, ashitting coach Matt Stairs and infield coach Josh Johnson were both fired earlier in October and McGwire is quitting his post as well.McGwire, 55, was one of the most feared power hitters of his generation during his playing years http://www.raysfanproshop.com/authentic-brad-miller-jersey , hitting 583 home runs and 1,414 RBI in his career. He was the 1987 American League Rookie of the Year and a 12-time All-Star, most famously surpassing Roger Maris' previous record of 61 homers in a single season by blasting 70 with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1998.That record would then be broken by Barry Bonds (73) in 2001.During his playing career, McGwire played for the Oakland Athletics鈥攆orming the famous "Bash Brothers" with fellow slugger Jose Canseco鈥攁nd the Cardinals. His many achievements earned an asterisk Joey Wendle Jersey , however, when he admitted to steroid use during his career. That steroid use has also played the major part in McGwire never being inducted into the Hall of Fame.After his playing career, McGwire served as the Cardinals hitting coach for three seasons and the Los Angeles Dodgers' hitting coach for another three before joining the Padres.During his tenure in San Diego, Sanders noted that McGwire "was not only an experienced right-hand man for Green http://www.raysfanproshop.com/authentic-christian-arroyo-jersey , he was leaned on heavily for his expertise at the plate."According toAJ Cassavellof MLB.com,Triple-A manager Rod Barajas is a "top candidate" to replace McGwire, though "it's unclear who the Padres will call upon to fill his place."He added that "early indications" suggest the Padres may fill out their coaching staff vacancies with internal candidates.
