The Marlins had 14 hits and drew nine walks, but couldn't come through in the clutch, going 0-for-12 with runners in scoring position and stranding 17 runners on base. Continue to Article

It's not often that a triple play isn't among the top three or even top five most interesting things to happen in a major-league game, but that may have been the case Friday night in Milwaukee. As the record will show, the Brewers did in fact turn a beautiful 5-4-3 around-the-horn triple play during their 6-3 loss to the Miami Marlins. It happened in the fifth inning, when Miami's Marcell Ozuna hit a sharp ground ball to third baseman Aaron Hill. After Hill stepped on third, he fired to second baseman Yadiel Rivera, who then fired to first baseman Chris Carter. [Related: Would Dee Gordon have caught Jonathan Lucroy's no-hitter spoiler? ] It was done with such a crispness that we dare say the Brewers made it look easy. Perhaps that's one reason why people weren't buzzing like they were for this wild White Sox triple play from last weekend . Then again, maybe it's because all of the buzz that was surrounding the Marlins. There was Dee Gordon's suspension . There was Ichiro Suzuki's 500th career stolen base , which happened in the first inning. There was Adam Conley getting pulled in the eighth inning with a no-hitter intact. There was Jose Urena losing the no-hitter with one out in the ninth inning on a ball Dee Gordon may have caught. Oh, and then there was Milwaukee nearly completing an insane comeback in the ninth inning. After starting the frame down 6-0, they scored three times and had the potential winning run at the plate in Jonathan Villar. Eventually, he lost a tough battle to A.J. Ramos, otherwise who knows what we'd be talking about right now. . @Brewers go around the horn for ALL OF THE OUTS. https://t.co/b9ucdMjEPt pic.twitter.com/DRKMdTukcN — MLB GIFS (@MLBGIFs) April 30, 2016 Don't worry, Brewers infield. We know that tucked away in that wild game was a triple play that deserves our attention, and we won't let it go overlooked any longer.   Continue to Article
