WASHINGTON — Brandon Nimmo saw what he deemed a “little skip” on Jesse Winker’s shot to first base in Friday’s fourth inning and took off running. That set the chain of events for a phantom triple play against the Mets in their 5-4 loss to the Nationals.

Jesse Winker hit into what was ruled as a triple play in the top of the fourth inning, but replays showed that first-base umpire Alfonso Marquez made the wrong call. Mark Vientos hit a three-run triple to erase a deficit and put the Mets on top in the eighth, before the Washington Nationals tied the game in the ninth and walked it off.

A triple play is one of those players that rarely happens in baseball, but the Washington Nationals pulled one off on Friday against the New York Mets.
