His first hit was a triple to centerfield off Ramon Ortiz of the Cincinnati Reds on April 8, 2005. He appeared in 34 games that season and posted a .188 batting average. Scott became the first Astros' rookie to hit for the cycle, accomplishing an "unnatural cycle" (home run, triple, double, and single, in that order) on July 28, 2006.
