On a full count, Jones hit a flare to short left field that was caught by Juan Castro on the run from his shortstop position. Castro then turned and fired to Delino Deshields to double off Grissom, and a throw then was made to Eric Karros to complete the triple play by getting Lemke.
This triple play marked the first in 47 years for the Dodgers, and their first since moving from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1958.
Prior to moving to L.A., the Dodgers turned 19 triple plays while in Brooklyn. However since then, they haven't been on the plus side of one since 2012.
