The Angels just turned a triple play [View all]

The Dodgers' Miguel Rojas was on second and Dalton Rushing at first. Ohtani hit a screamer to the second baseman (Ohtani out). He flips to the shortstop coming over, who tags second base to double off Rojas and then throws to furst to double off Rushing (who fell over the first baseman trying to get back and was flat on the ground for several seconds.)

It was only the second triple play I've seen, and it happened so fast I didn't realize it at first.

Look for video on your favorite video source.

A bit off-topic, but I remember the unassisted triple play of 1968, the first such event in over forty years. John1956PA Aug 13 #1
