Asdrubal Cabrera Turns Unassisted Triple Play

Cleveland Indians‘ second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera entered the record books Monday night, making only the fourteenth unassisted triple play in baseball history.

The feat came in the fifth inning of the Indian’s 3-0 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays.  Kevin Mench and  Marco Scutaro each singled in that inning, placing Mench on second with Scutaro on first.  Lyle Overbay then hit a line drive up the middle as the base runners charged.  Cabrera dove to catch the ball backhanded for the first out.  He then scurried to his feet to step on second, getting Mench out, who had already reached third base.  Finally, he tagged Scutaro for the third out, after Scutaro had already touched second.  Watch the video.

But if Cabrera had the highlight of the game, the Blue Jays had the win, scoring three in the tenth inning to split a double header.

The Indians, 15-15,  are in second place in the American League Central Division, 1.5 games behind the Minnesota Twins.  The Blue Jays, 18-22, are in last place in the American League East, 5.5 games behind the Red Sox.

Yankees Slug 4 HR’s

The New York Yankees collectively hit four home runs as they beat the Cleveland Indians 6-3.  The Indians took the series two games to one.  The game’s sluggers were Jason Giambi, Johnny Damon, Robinson Cano and Wilson Betemit.  Hideki Matsui extended his hitting streak to 17 games.

The Yankees are 18-18 for the season and are in third place in the American League East Division, 4.5 games behind the first-place Boston Red Sox.  The Indians are in third in the American League Central Division.   Their 16-18 record places them 1.5 games behind the first-place Minnesota Twins.
