toughest moment and helped the fireballing right-hander whip the Twins 3-1 your run of the mill ordinary triple play was a triple play manufactured by Steve Braun and Harmon Killebrew on the base-paths And what made this triple play so tough was that Killebrew was on third base and Braun on second eliminating any force play putouts Killebrew had opened the fourth with a single and moved to third on double Next Jim Nettles flied to Jim Spencer in left One out Killebrew not the fastest runner in the American League faked a start from third and Braun apparently thought he was running
