Rays: Usual loss spiced up by historic triple play

Here's a good one. It is pretty well known how to get a triple play without the ball touching a fielder. I am surprised this has happened only once in MLB history, some 200,000 games. That is, a triple play without the ball touching the bat. R1, R3 and batter strikes out. R1 was running with the pitch but was run down by F6. The triple play was completed 2-6-2 as R3 tried to score.

The situation is so common it is surprising it has only happened once.
