Angels turn triple play vs. Dodgers off Shohei Ohtani liner

ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Los Angeles Angels turned the eighth triple play in team history Tuesday night, 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.

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

It also preserved a 5-5 tie in the latest edition of the Freeway Series. The Angels have won the first four games this season against the Dodgers.
