Twins Pull Off Rare Triple Play In Beating Yankees

The Minnesota Twins pulled off a rare triple play against the New York Yankees Monday night. The Twins went on to win the game 8-6.

The triple play started the game in the first inning. Yankees' DJ LeMahieu and Aaron Judge drew walks to begin the inning. Edwin Encarnacion hit a grounder and third baseman Luis Arraez fielded it, stepped on third then threw to second baseman Jonathan Schoop, who turned and fired it to first baseman Miguel Sano to finish out the triple play.

It was the 13th triple play for the Twins since 1961.
