MONTREAL, June 24 (UPI) -- Brad Wilkerson became the fifth player in Montreal history to hit for the cycle Tuesday and drove in four runs in a 6-4 victory over Pittsburgh.

Tomo Ohka pitched six innings and Ron Calloway and Jose Vidro added run-scoring doubles for the Expos.

A 26-year-old outfielder in his second full major league season, Wilkerson reached on a bunt single in the second inning, doubled in the fifth, tripled in the sixth and hit a two-run homer in the seventh.

The last Expo to hit for the cycle was Rondell White on June 11, 1995 at San Francisco. Tim Raines (1987), Chris Speier (1978) and Tim Foli (1976) are the other Expos to accomplish the rare feat.

Wilkerson, who tied a career high with four RBI, became the

first major leaguer to hit for the cycle this season.

Ohka (6-7) allowed one run and four hits.
