D-Rays Turn the Triple Play

I've been watching replays of the triple play the Devil Rays turned in the first inning against the Mariners on 9/2/2006. What an excellent defensive feat! Apparently this is the first ever strike-out, throw-out, throw-out turned from catcher to shortstop and back to catcher again (2-6-2). Nice work by catcher Dionar Navarro. As is often the case with the triple play that last out is a gift of extremely poor base running. Though I wasn't impressed with Adrian Beltre's steal attempt on the second out either.

It seems like every triple play I've seen involves the Mariners (they've hit into nine over franchise history) and I don't recall ever seeing them on the good end. At least they took the 4-3 victory at the end of this game.
