PITTSBURGH -- Coming around second base in the seventh inning of the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night, John Jaso stumbled.Then, he went for it.Ninety feet later, Jaso was safe at third base with a triple to become the first player to hit a cycle in the 16-year history of PNC Park.The triple off reliever Pedro Strop clinched the Pirates first cycle since 2004. The last Pirate to hit for the cycle was Daryle Ward on May 26, 2004, in St. Louis. The last Pirates home cycle was by Jason Kendall on May 19, 2000, against the Cardinals at Three Rivers Stadium.Jaso isnt exactly a typical candidate for the cycle. He has neither prodigious power nor speed, as he hit just his seventh home run and third triple of the season. Jaso didnt even realize what had happened until he had already performed the feat.It didnt really dawn on me until I was standing on the base, he said. I was looking at (third base coach Rick) Sofield and it finally just hit me.Jasos teammates were well aware of what was going on. Shortstop Jordy Mercer said they didnt want to jinx it by telling him.There was a little buzz going on and we were aware of the situation, but I dont think its something you want to openly talk about when they have one more at-bat left, Mercer said.But when Jaso looked like he might settle for a double after rounding second, Mercer and the rest of the bench became a legion of third-base coaches.We were just yelling, `Keep going! Keep going no matter what, just go, Mercer said. It worked out. I couldnt be more happy for him. It was awesome.Against Chicago starter Jake Arrieta (18-8), Jaso singled in the second inning, hit a three-run home run in the fourth and doubled in the fifth. Arrieta went five innings and allowed 10 hits and seven runs, both season highs.Its just a great memory to have, Jaso said. You dont really want to take this blessing for granted being here.Pirates starter Jameson Taillon (5-4) allowed one hit and struck out four in six innings.Chicagos Anthony Rizzo hit a solo homer, his 32nd of the season.OH, CANADAThe Pirates announced that they will play a two-game preseason series in Montreal against the Toronto Blue Jays March 31 and April 1, 2017.

The college football season has already had its fair share of upsets and surprises, and the same goes with my updated Big Board for the 2017 NFL draft. In this edition: Theres a new No. 1; a hybrid player from the Big Ten has jumped a few spots into the top 10; and three new players have made the top 25 -- which means three others dropped out.A reminder: General scouting reports on these players wont change week to week, unless my overall evaluation changes.
