Phillies Make History with Rare 1-3-5 Triple Play in 8-1 Victory

The Philadelphia Phillies executed a rare 1-3-5 triple play in their 8-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers, marking the first such play in Major League Baseball since 1929. Pitcher Aaron Nola initiated the play by catching a broken-bat liner, tossing to first baseman Bryce Harper, who then threw to third baseman Alec Bohm to tag out Zach McKinstry. This triple play thwarted a potential Tigers rally and highlighted the Phillies' strong defensive performance. Bryce Harper further starred by driving in five runs, including a three-run homer, contributing to the Phillies' dominance. Aaron Nola also excelled on the mound, allowing only one run over seven innings with six strikeouts.
