The Dominican Summer League Reds put an absolute beat down on the DSL Padres Brown on Tuesday. It was 2-1 in favor of the Reds when the bottom of the 4th inning began. It was 19-1 when the inning was over. The Reds would then tack on two more runs in the next inning as they went on to win 21-4 in the scheduled 7-inning game. As one would expect in such a game there were plenty of strong offensive performances by the Reds players, but none were better than the one from second baseman Sandor Feliciano. The infielder went 4-4 with a walk and a grand slam as he hit for the cycle.
The day began for Sandor Feliciano with a single in the bottom of the 3rd inning. It was the next inning when things had to start getting exciting for those at the complex paying attention. As part of the 17-run inning, Felciano played a big role. He came up to the plate with the bases loaded and hit a grand slam in his first at-bat of the inning. He would then come back to the plate again later in the inning and this time around the switch-hitter was turned around and batting right-handed and he came through to smack a double. On top of being a part of a hilariously long inning, Feliciano was now just a triple shy of the cycle.
Despite having been to the plate twice in the previous inning he was set to leadoff the bottom of the 5th. The Padres Brown brought in a new reliever to face him and Feliciano was turned around again and was back to hitting left handed. He came through with the triple to complete the cycle. He would get another plate appearance in the 6th inning and he drew a walk to complete his day.

As if hitting for the cycle wasn’t cool enough, though, there’s another very cool factor to this all. Not only did the home run part of the cycle turn out to be a grand slam, but that was also the first professional home run for Sandor Feliciano. In 2025 he had 10 doubles and two triples, but he didn’t homer. This season he had also yet to homer. It took him 68 games to get that first one and he made it count in all of the best ways.
The 2026 season got out to a tough start for Feliciano. The infielder was hitting just .068 through his first 15 games of the season. But when the calendar flipped to June he started to hit better and to collect hits frequently. Since June 1st he’s played in 16 games and he’s hit .375/.521/.536. He only had one extra-base hit in June – a double. But he’s now got five of them so far in August. On top of the hot-hitting, he’s also been a terror on the basepaths as he’s stolen 11 bases in those 16 games.
