Alexi Amarista Fields Ground Ball, Flips It from Glove to Spark Double Play


San Diego Padres shortstop Alexi Amarista sparked a double play Wednesday that will make you do a double take. But be careful—you might experience some mild whiplash.

Down one run in the sixth inning at Petco Park, Atlanta Braves outfielder Adonis Garcia hit a sharp ground ball—but not sharp enough to escape the Padres shortstop.

Amarista chased the ball down and then spun around to flip it directly from his glove to second baseman Jedd Gyorko. Nick Markakis was out at second before Gyorko turned the double play to get Garcia at first.

The Padres preserved their one-run lead, eventually winning 3-2 to finish the three-game sweep.
