With his parents and family watching from the stands, the 25-year-old second baseman put on a magnificent show, hitting for the cycle -- collecting a single, double, triple and home run in the same game.
"It was a good day for that to happen," a beaming Vega said after the game. "I really got some good looks and delivered. Sometimes you're just on."
He finished his historic day with 4 hits in 5 at-bats, 3 runs batted in and 2 runs scored.
Juan Vega singled in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 3rd, flied out in the 5th, hit an RBI triple in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Bill Thomas in the 8th.
