The Philadelphia Phillies achieve a highly unusual 1-3-5 triple play, the first one since 1929 and the third in their history.
The Philadelphia Phillies executed a rare triple play to prevent the Detroit Tigers from scoring.
The Tigers had an opportunity to spark a comeback when Zach McKinstry and Carson Kelly hit, despite being behind 4-0.
Matt Vierling hit a broken-bat liner that was fielded by Aaron Nola, who then threw to Bryce Harper to double Kelly.
Catcher Garrett Stubbs signaled to Harper after noticing that McKinstry had not stopped running from third.
I am unsure if the bat broke, but McKinstry believed that the ball had touched the ground.
The Tigers turned the first 1-3-5 triple play in the majors since their previous one against the Boston Red.
Harper expressed that the moment was quite enjoyable for everyone, reminiscent of their Little League days.
The Tigers were defeated by the Phillies with a score of 8-1.
Philadelphia has won their last three games with a total score of 24-3.
