After taking a 2-1 lead in the fifth inning the Tigers had runners at first and second with no outs trying to break the game open, but the rally was over just like that.

Ian Kinsler smashed a grounder to Jonathan Villar at third, he stepped on the bag then relayed it to Jose Altuve at second then to the first baseman Chris Carter to finish the very rare 5-4-3 triple play.
#Astros first triple play since August 19, 2004 at PHI. Also 5-4-3 (Ensberg to Kent to Lamb). — #VoteAstros (@astros) May 23, 2015
