Todd Frazier had an unforgettable first at-bat in his home debut at Yankee Stadium, grounding into the MLB’s first run-scoring triple play since 2006 as the New York Yankees beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-2 Tuesday night.
Frazier hit a bases-loaded grounder in the second up the middle, and shortstop Jose Peraza gloved it, stepped on second and threw to first. Gregorius, who had been on second base, held up when the ball was hit, in case it was caught. He was late to advance, and first baseman Joey Votto’s throw across the diamond caught him in a rundown. Gregorius was called out for running wide of baseline trying to avoid a tag.
But what happened in that laat run-scoring triple play game in 2006?
The Seattle Mariners were visiting the Minnesota Twins on May 27, 2006. Seattle's Kenji Johjima was at bat against Twins pitcher Juan Rincon in the top of the eighth inning. Johjima's at bat turned into a triple play for the Twins, but Seattle's Richie Sexton scored from third base. The Twins went on to defeat the Mariners 9-5.
