Triple Play Saves Schilling’s Day

Curt Schilling pitched his major league-leading 13th complete game and the Philadelphia Phillies turned a triple play to defeat the San Francisco Giants, 5-4, Sunday at San Francisco.

“Six innings, I’m throwing great baseball, and all of a sudden, I’m struggling for my life the next two innings,” Schilling said.

The Phillies turned the triple play in the eighth inning.

Rich Aurilia struck out and reached first on a wild pitch. After another wild pitch moved Aurilia to second, Bonds was intentionally walked and Jeff Kent lined out to shortstop Alex Arias. Aurilia was doubled off second when Arias flipped the ball to Mark Lewis, and Bonds was caught off first when Lewis completed the triple play by relaying to first baseman Rico Brogna.
