The Oakland A's infield turned a triple play in the fifth inning of Tuesday night's game at the O.co Coliseum against the Minnesota Twins.
With Twins runners on first and second, Twins batter Trevor Plouffe hit a sharp chopper to third base. A's third baseman Josh Donaldson was in perfect position to grab the grounder, step on third, turn and throw to Adam Rosales at second for the first two outs.
As Rosales stepped on second, he had to turn and leap over the slide of Twins runner Ryan Doumit before making the throw to first base, but still got it to first baseman Chris Carter in time to complete the triple play.
