<p>Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto, #9, attempts but fails to throw out Los Angeles Dodgers' Andy Pages at first during the eighth inning of a baseball game on Tuesday, Aug. 12, 2025 in Anaheim, California.</p>

<p>Angels shortstop Zach Neto was there to snap the ball out of the air, step on second base to get the baserunner who lagged off of second too far and threw to first baseman Nolan Schanuel, who tagged Dalton Rushing, to complete the triple play. Neto was credited with two putouts and an assist on the play.</p>

<p>"I caught the ball, stepped on second, and as I was looking to first, I saw the guy kind of still puzzled at first, so I threw the ball over there hoping Nolan could make a play, and he did," Neto said. "I actually told Nolan that if he messed that one up — because that was the first (triple play) ever in my life — if he messed that up, we were going to have some words."</p>

<p>It was the eighth triple play in the club's history, but only the second since 1997. The team last completed one in August 2023 against the Tampa Bay Rays.</p>
