It also became only the second 8-3-5 triple play in MLB history, with the other having happened in 1884 when the Boston Beaneaters turned it against the Providence Grays.
Last night the Minnesota Twins kicked off their 3-game series against the New York Yankees with a triple play. Not something you see every day. But how rare is it to get three outs in a single play? Rarer than you think.
