The Houston Astros turned their first triple play since 2004, pulling the feat on a grounder by Detroit's Ian Kinsler The Tigers had runners on first and second and had already scored a run in the fifth inning Saturday when Kinsler hit a grounder to third. Jonathan Villar stepped on the bag and threw to second, where Jose Altuve relayed the ball to first. Houston's defense was actually a big reason the Astros were in the jam in the first place.
