CLEVELAND (AP) -- Indians second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera turned the 14th unassisted triple play in major league history -- accomplishing the feat last night in the second game of a doubleheader against Toronto.
Cabrera made a diving catch on a line drive by Lyle Overbay, touched second base and then tagged out Marco Scutaro to quickly end the fifth inning.
Kevin Mench and Scutaro took off on the pitch and Overbay hit the liner up the middle. Cabrera moved to his right, grabbed the ball with a backhanded dive and held up his glove to show the umpire he'd made the catch.
Cabrera then took a couple of steps to touch second to get Mench, who was already standing at third base. Cabrera easily reached out to tag Scutaro, who had run past the bag.
