I disagree with the first answerer on 1 point:

How can the closest home run cycle be someone that only hit 3 in the game?

I think the closest was Mark Whitten. He hit a grand slam, two 3-run, and one 2 run.

From Wikipedia, link below:

A "home run cycle" is one in which a player hits a 1-run, 2-run, 3-run, and grand slam home run all in one game. The first and only home run cycle in a professional baseball game belongs to Tyrone Horne, who stroked four long balls for the minor league, Double-A Arkansas Travelers in a game against the San Antonio Missions on July 27, 1998.[3] While no other professional player has accomplished the feat, there have been multiple instances in college level play.[4][5] The closest a major league player has come to hitting for the home run cycle was on April 26, 2005 when Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees hit 3 home runs off Los Angeles Angels pitcher Bartolo Colon.[6] Rodriguez hit a 3-run home run, 2-run home run, and a grand slam in the first, third, and fourth innings, respectively. He later, in the bottom of the eighth inning, just missed a solo home run, lining out to Jeff DaVanon in deep center field.[7]

Re "Hard Hittin'" Mark Witten:
I just copied and pasted from Wikipedia so that's their text, not mine. However, as it says in the article, A-Rod nearly hit a solo home run. Mark Witten had 4 homers in one game, but he never had the chance to hit for the homer cycle as there weren't the right number of people on base for him to do it.

Not in the majors. Horne did it once in the minors, as Cubswin noted.
