Angels turn triple play off Ohtani liner, win in 10

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Angels turned the eighth triple play in team history Tuesday night in their 7-6 extra-inning win over the Dodgers, with shortstop Zach Neto getting two putouts and an assist off a line drive by Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani.

Miguel Rojas was on second and Dalton Rushing was on first for the Dodgers in the sixth inning when Ohtani hit a drive right up the middle past reliever Brock Burke.

Neto caught Ohtani's liner, stepped on second base in stride to get Rojas and quickly threw to first, where Nolan Schanuel tagged out Rushing as the Dodgers rookie attempted to get back to first base. Rushing stepped awkwardly on the bag and fell hard to the dirt after being tagged, staying down for a bit.

Ohtani made up for it in his next at-bat, however, leading off the ninth inning with a home run off Kenley Jansen to give the Dodgers a 6-5 lead. But the Angels rallied against the Dodgers bullpen, eventually winning in 10 innings on Jo Adell's walk-off single.

The Angels' triple play was their first since Aug. 18, 2023.

The Angels have won the first five games this season against the Dodgers.
