Rare TP

The Phillies turned a rare triple play combination, starting with a line drive to the pitcher:

Trailing 4-0, the Tigers had a chance to get something going when Zach McKinstry and Carson Kelly hit back-to-back singles, putting runners on the corners.

Matt Vierling hit a broken-bat liner back to Aaron Nola, who tossed to Bryce Harper to double Kelly off first.

McKinstry had never stopped running from third, so Harper had plenty of time to flip to Alec Bohm to finish the triple play.

The 1-3-5 was the first of it’s kind since 1929 when the Tigers turned one. They may be the only team with one for and against.

The Phillies lead the game 7-1 in the top of the eighth inning.
