WATCH: Mets turn 4-6-3 triple play on Astros

Triple plays aren't as rare as some baseball feats, but they're still pretty scarce – so imagine what the folks in West Palm Beach, Florida, were thinking when they saw the Mets turn one on the Astros on Monday.

The sixth inning of Monday's 5-4 Astros win wasn't the best for the Mets or pitcher Jerad Eickhoff – three straight singles and a walk gave Houston their fifth run of the day and re-loaded the bases – but he got out of trouble on one swing.


Jose Altuve hit a liner to second baseman Jose Peraza, who snagged it for the first leg of a 4-6-3 triple play:

Technically, it goes 4-4-6-6-3 because both Peraza and shortstop Wilfredo Tovar also get an assist, but however you score out, it turned a bases-loaded, no-out situation into the end of the inning.
