If a player needs a home run for the cycle, the level of the alert varies depending upon the determination of the Cycle Detection Warning System, which is headquartered in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.

Thanks to Paul Maholm's 3-hit shutout win over the Astros 3-0, the Pittsburgh Pirates avoided their first 5-game home losing streak to start the season since 1898.
Back in 1898, the Pirates opened the season with 10 games on the road and went 6-4. Then they finally dropped anchor at Exposition Park on April 29 and dropped two games to Cincinnati. Then the two teams switched parks for one game on May 1 and Pittsburgh. Then they went back to Pittsburgh for two more games and Cincinnati won both of those. Then Chicago came to town on May 4 and Pittsburgh lost that game. The Pirates and Cubs tied the next day.
Finally on May 9, the Pirates won a home game, beating Louisville 9-5. The 1898 Louisville squad featured two players: Honus Wagner and Fred Clarke, who would become cornerstones of the Pirates franchise at the beginning of the 20th century.
