Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) - The Cleveland Indians recorded the first triple play of the season during the fourth inning against the Chicago White Sox.

The rare play was set up by Carlos Quentin's walk and an A.J. Pierzynski single to put runners on first and second for the White Sox.

Alexei Ramirez attempted a sacrifice bunt, but Carlos Santana charged from first base to make a diving catch down the first base line. He then threw to first base to Orlando Cabrera, who tossed it to second to tag up both Quentin and Pierzynski.

It was the first triple play by the Indians since May 12, 2008 against Toronto.
