Question
Has a player ever hit for the cycle with all four hits coming against the same pitcher?

Answer
Paul,

 Yes, this has been done several times. After I found a half-dozen cases, I stopped looking. Some examples:

Bill White off Vern Law, Aug 14, 1960
Mike Greenwell off Jose Bautista, Sep 11, 1988
Paul Molitor off Kevin Tapani, May 15, 1991
