The Philadelphia Phillies on Monday night turned a rare 1-3-5 triple against the Detroit Tigers. It was a rare feat not seen since 1929, according to researchers.
The Philadelphia Phillies turned a rare triple play against the Detroit Tigers on Monday night. Down four runs in the bottom of the third inning, the Tigers tried to get back into the game behind a pair of singles from Zach McKinstry and Carson Kelly. However, the threat would end just as quickly as it started.
Matt Vierling’s broken bat liner to Phillies pitcher Aaron Nola started the 1-3-5 triple play. Nola tossed the ball to Harper, who then flipped the ball to Alec Bohm for the third out. 'I realized after I threw it to first,' Nola told reporters, via MLB.com. '... It happened so quick. It was pretty cool. I guess it was a good way to get out of the inning.' ORIOLES FAN MAKES INCREDIBLE FOUL BALL SNAG WITH HIS BAREHAND It was the first triple play of its kind in about 95 years.
Nola allowed one run on six hits in seven innings. He picked up career win No. 99. The Associated Press contributed to this report. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
