That's the first triple play we've turned since August 1, 2001! pic.twitter.com/lkJ5m41dm9

With a nifty play at third base, Jeimer Candelario started the first Tigers’ triple play in 16 years. Blue Jays center fielder Kevin Pillar hit a sharp ball to third, which Candelario dove to snag before touching third. He threw to Ian Kinsler, who threw to Efren Navarro to complete it 5-4-3.

The last Tigers triple play occurred on Aug. 1, 2001: Damion Easley to Deivi Cruz to Shane Halter against Seattle.
