Red Sox Run Into Ultra-Rare 8-3-5 Triple Play

The Boston Red Sox managed to do something last night that hasn't happened since 1884, and it wasn't good. With men on second and first and no outs, Triston Casas hit a long popup that the Atlanta Braves' centerfielder came in to catch on the run. Adam Duvall, the man on first, strayed too far, getting easily doubled off, during which Masataka Yoshida tried to tag from second to third, getting thrown out by the first baseman by a large margin.
