New York also turned the first 1-3-6-2-5-6 triple play in major league history on Thursday at Buffalo, New York, against the Toronto Blue Jays and also had an around-the-horn triple play on May 21 against the Chicago White Sox involving Urshela, second baseman Rougned Odor and first baseman Luke Voit.
Manaea — a winner in three straight starts — cruised until the sixth, when he walked two batters ahead of the red-hot Sanchez.
The slow-footed Sanchez got hung up between second and third on the play but juked around a tag attempt from A’s third baseman Matt Chapman before diving to get a hand onto the bag.
A two-time All-Star, Sanchez lost his starting job during last year’s postseason due to an extended slump, one that stretched into the start of 2021.
