The White Sox have made turning three look as easy as 9-3-2-6-2-5, 5-4-3 and 6-3 this season.
Rookie shortstop Tim Anderson was mostly responsible for turning the team’s third triple play this season Friday against the Braves. Anderson fielded Freddie Freeman’s grounder, tagged Chase d’Arnaud at second, stepped on the base to force out Gordon Beckham and threw to Jose Abreu at first to complete the play in the top of the third inning
It’s the first time a team has pulled off three triple plays in a season since 1979, when the A’s and Red Sox did it, according to sabr.
