TUCSON, Ariz. -- The Arizona Diamondbacks turned a triple play against the Seattle Mariners in the second inning Sunday.
With runners on first and second, Michael Garciaparra lined Edgar Gonzalez's pitch to shortstop Stephen Drew. He stepped on second base to retire Mike Morse, then threw to first baseman Tony Clark to get Michael Wilson and complete the triple play.
"It was amazing," Gonzalez said. "It's the first time in my life I've been in the game" for a triple play.
Garciaparra is the younger brother of Los Angeles Dodgers star Nomar Garciaparra.
It was the second triple play in Tucson in two days. The Los Angeles Angels turned one against the Colorado Rockies at Hi Corbett Field on Saturday.
