ANAHEIM -- The Twins turned their first triple play in more than 10 years on Thursday night, as rookie left-hander Adalberto Mejia got the Angels' Jefry Marte to ground into a 5-4-3 triple play at Angel Stadium.
After Albert Pujols and Yunel Escobar singled to open the fourth inning, Marte hit a 1-0 fastball from Mejia to third baseman Miguel Sano, who touched third and fired to Brian Dozier at second before Dozier got the ball to first baseman Joe Mauer in time to beat Marte.
