On Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim made history by executing the first triple play in 26 years during the 9th inning against the Tampa Bay Rays. The triple play was a line drive to third baseman David Fletcher, who caught the ball and stepped on the bag to double off the runner at first. He then threw to second baseman Tommy La Stella, who tagged out the runner coming from first.
The triple play was the first by the Angels since 1993, when they turned one against the Oakland Athletics. It was also the first triple play in the major leagues since 2017, when the Cleveland Indians turned one against the Kansas City Royals.
The triple play was a big moment for the Angels, who were able to get out of a jam in the 9th inning and preserve their 5-4 lead. It was also a big moment for Fletcher, who made a great play to start the triple play.
The Angels went on to win the game 5-4, thanks in part to the triple play. It was a great moment for the team and for Fletcher, who will surely remember this moment for years to come. The Angels will look to continue their winning ways as they take on the Rays again on Wednesday night.
