Indians 2B Cabrera turns unassisted triple play - MLB - SI.com
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Indians second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera turned the 14th unassisted triple play in major league history, accomplishing the feat Monday night in the second game of a doubleheader against Toronto.
Cabrera made a diving catch on a line drive by Lyle Overbay, touched second base and then tagged out Marco Scutaro to quickly end the fifth inning of Cleveland's 3-0 loss in 10 innings.
"I was trying to speed up the game," Overbay joked. "I get to go down in history. They can't take that away from me.
"It's not smart to hit a line drive on a hit-and-run. Only bad things can happen."
The only miscue by the 22-year-old Cabrera was that he didn't keep the ball.
"He flipped it into the stands and right as he did cried out, 'Oh, no!' " first-base coach Luis Rivera said, serving as the Venezuelan's interpreter.
