Jennings turns rare DP as Rays edge A's

Rays center fielder Desmond Jennings turned the rare 8-unassisted double play in the top of the third inning during today?s game against the Athletics. After Eric Sogard singled with one out, starter Jeremy Hellickson got Coco Crisp to fly out to center. Sogard misread Jennings? ability to catch the ball, so he rounded second hard instead of retreating to first base. Jennings caught the ball on the run, and lightly jogged towards first base to get the second out to end the inning.

ESPN Stats & Info tweeted, via the Elias Sports Bureau, that Jennings? 8-unassisted was the first since Mike Cameron accomplished the feat in 2003.
