Spring Training Chaos Produces an Unprecedented Giants–Cubs Triple Play
In Scottsdale spring training, the San Francisco Giants pulled off a one-of-a-kind 4-3-6-5 triple play against the Cubs after a smoke alarm caused chaos in the stands and a bloop single started the bizarre sequence. Robbie Ray walked two and allowed a single, yet the chaos led to an inning-ending triple play highlighted by Willy Adames tagging two runners at third and Matt Chapman tagging the final baserunner. The play is notable for starting with a base hit, something SABR notes as unprecedented; manager Tony Vitello and players call it a memorable, humorous spring moment rather than a regular-season feat.
