Kudos to Kubel on cycle

Jason Kubel's grand slam capped off a cycle against the Angels and a spectacular night for the Twins outfielder. Kubel goes 4-5 with five RBI and two runs in a 10-8 Twins win at the Metrodome.

Fantasy Impact: Kubel is considered part of a platoon in the Twins outfield with Delmon Young, and he's earning quite a few of the at bats. He's good for maybe 450 this season, but if he continues to break out, Kubel will become a full-fledged starter.

Kinsler cycle

Ian Kinsler's hot start just went supernova. The Rangers' second baseman goes 6-6 and hits for the cycle in a 19-6 pasting of Baltimore. Kinsler is now hitting .474 with three homers.

Fantasy Impact: There are those who consider Kinsler to be the best second sacker in all of baseball. We'll take Chase Utley for his consistency and power numbers, although Kinsler and Brandon Phillips play close seconds (no pun intended). If you think Utley was an injury risk at the start of the year due to his recovery from hip surgery, consider that Kinsler has never played more than 130 games in a single season.
