You never know when you might see something in a baseball game that you’ve never seen before, and on Sunday, the Mariners did something no one has seen since 1955.
In the fourth inning against the Blue Jays, the Mariners recorded the 11th triple play in team history and the first since 2010. But this one might have claim to being the strangest of all. It was the first 3-6-2-2 triple play in the majors since 1955 and only the second in the history of the game.
Here’s the scene: The Blue Jays had Kevin Pillar on first and Ezequiel Carrera on third with no outs in the third inning when things got weird:
• Ryan Goins hit a grounder to first baseman Mark Trumbo.
