Twins turn 2nd triple play in less than 3 weeks

The Minnesota Twins turned a triple play for the second time in less than three weeks when they achieved the rare feat Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves.

With the bases loaded and no outs in the third inning, Atlanta's Tyler Flowers hit a grounder to Minnesota third baseman Miguel Sano, who stepped on third for the first out before quickly firing to second baseman Jonathan Schoop for the second out.

Schoop's return throw to first baseman C.J. Cron easily beat Flowers for the third out, completing the triple play.
