WATCH: Rockies’ triple play is the first in the majors this season
Apr 05, 2025
The Rockies pulled off a rarity Saturday night at Coors Field.
They turned their first triple play in almost a decade in the second inning against the Athletics. It was the first triple play in the majors this season.
Colorado’s German Marquez walked Shea Langeliers to open the inning, and Tyler S
oderstrom reached first on an infield single. The Jacob Wilson hit a hard one-hopper to third baseman Ryan McMahon, who stepped on third and fired to second baseman Kyle Farmer, who threw hard to first baseman Michael Toglia to beat Wilson by a step.
It was the fifth triple play in club history, the first since Sept. 1, 2015, at Coors Field when shortstop Jose Reyes, second baseman DJ LeMahieu and first baseman Ben Paulsen turned the trick on Arizona first baseman Paul Goldschmidt.
