HOUSTON — The San Diego Padres pulled off their sixth triple play in club history and their first since July 31, 1983, in the eighth inning Sunday against Houston.
With Kevin Bass on second and Greg Gross on first, Ken Caminiti hit a ground ball to third baseman Luis Salazar, who threw to Roberto Alomar at second, forcing Gross. Alomar then threw to Jack Clark at first to get Caminiti.
Bass broke for home, appeared to hestitate, and Clark threw to catcher Mark Parent, who tagged out Bass.
