Watch: Machado initiates Orioles' 2nd triple play of season

Patrick McDermott / USA TODAY Sports

If the Baltimore Orioles are making a defensive highlight, you best believe Manny Machado had a hand in it.

After Detroit Tigers catcher James McCann sent a hard-hit grounder toward Machado with runners on first and second, the Orioles' superstar third baseman immediately stepped on his bag before firing it to second baseman Jonathan Schoop for a quick two outs. Schoop then flipped it to Chris Davis at first to nab McCann.

Overall, it's just the fourth triple play of the 2017 season, but the second converted by the Orioles, who did the same in a loss against the Boston Red Sox on May 2.
