Gary Sánchez provided a moment of thrill and perhaps inspiration for the, uh, slower-footed ballplayers of the world when he tripled April 21, part of the Milwaukee Brewers' 12-4 handling of the Detroit Tigers.Not only that, Garrett Mitchell followed one batter later with a triple of his own, the first back-to-back triples for the Brewers since May 4, 2015, when Héctor Gómez and Gerardo Parra did it in the sixth against Clayton Kershaw at Miller Park.Brewers.TV hilariously shared a post of the triples side-by-side, showing that the players arrived at their destination on varying schedules.This side-by-side of Gary Sanchez and Garrett Mitchell's triples 💀→ https://t.co/68EQQYUZ6Zpic.twitter.com/HwyGREVwIl— Brewers.TV (@BrewersdotTV) April 22, 2026The 6-foot-2, 251-pound Sánchez actually already had a triple in his Brewers career – two years ago when he was last with the team and clearing the bases in Oakland. He has four in his career overall.Gary Sanchez CLEARS the bases with his third career triple! pic.twitter.com/K0qvwZM7Ym— Talkin' Baseball (@TalkinBaseball_) August 24, 2024There are 11 players in the Baseball Reference database listed at 240 pounds or greater to hit a triple for the Brewers, and, while a couple won't surprise you, most are pretty delightful.
Here is our list:Corey Hart (33 times)Sorry, Corey, but you probably don't fit the spirit of our list. Hart (6-6, 240) stole 83 bases with the Brewers and hit 33 triples. He was a good runner and only counts by the slimmest of margins.
Was "slimmest" an intended pun? Who can say?Prince Fielder (nine times)The story here is that Prince Fielder had nine triples with the Brewers. Fielder also had a triple in the All-Star Game when he was with the Detroit Tigers and one in a regular-season game with Detroit, as well.
When you find out a 5-11, 275-pound big-leaguer has 10 triples in his career, what does it make you feel? The answer is joy.But you may know Fielder for other feats of baserunning, namely his two inside-the-park home runs. Prince Fielder really has more career inside-the-park home runs than Rickey Henderson. pic.twitter.com/rkkjKgCF4p— Baseball’s Greatest Moments (@BBGreatMoments) March 31, 2025Jesús Aguilar (twice)The first baseman and purveyor of vibes (6-3, 277) hit both of his triples in 2017.
One was in the 10th inning of a game in San Diego; unfortunately for Milwaukee, he was stranded on third, and the Brewers lost in the bottom half.Rowdy Tellez (twice)Can I interest you in a stand-up triple against his old teammates in Toronto? Or perhaps a ball that took just the right bounce in San Francisco? The 6-4, 270-pound fan favorite actually has three career triples, counting one in Toronto.Standup triple for Rowdy Tellez 🏃♂️💨(via @BallySportWI)pic.twitter.com/vGAsoTSuZu— FOX Sports: MLB (@MLBONFOX) June 1, 2023A Rowdy Tellez triple.
This game has everything. pic.twitter.com/oJiTghDdGo— Adam McCalvy (@AdamMcCalvy) September 1, 2021Rhys Hoskins (2025)The 6-3, 241-pounder wasn't known for his speed or anything approaching speed, but he did notch a triple July 5, 2025, scoring Jackson Chourio when a ball got past a diving Dane Myers in an eventual 4-2 loss in Miami. Unfortunately, the game had a worse fate for Hoskins when he suffered a thumb sprain and bone bruise on a throw over to first base two innings later, an injury that would keep him sidelined until he made 10 plate appearances in September.Omar Narváez (2022)Narváez (5-11, 240) finished a home run shy of the cycle against St.
Louis on May 29, part of an 8-0 win in which Corbin Burnes dominated. Brendan Donovan's diving attempt was for naught, sending the catcher to third, and he scored on a Lorenzo Cain base hit immediately thereafter.Chris Carter (2016)Carter hit 41 homers for the Brewers in his lone season with Milwaukee, 2016, but perhaps just as interesting is the 6-4, 245-pounder's one triple – one of five in his career. It led off an inning against the Cardinals in July, but Carter didn't score when Mike Leake retired Kirk Nieuwenhuis, Hernán Pérez and Ramón Flores in order.
The year 2016 was different.Juan Francisco (2013)Francisco (6-2, 245) had four triples in his career, and one with Milwaukee with a booming triple to center field in Houston. He scored on the next play, but that would be the Brewers' only run in a 10-1 loss. His tattooed baseball one-hopped and hit the 436-foot sign in center field near the in-play foul pole Richie Sexson once famously struck for just a double.Lyle Mouton (2000)The 6-4, 240-pound outfielder had two triples in his career, and the one he hit in Milwaukee came in an eight-run inning and wasn't even the only triple of the inning as Milwaukee rallied for an 11-10 win in San Francisco on May 19.
His triple tied the game in the seventh, and José Hernández followed with a two-run triple as the Brewers built a 10-7 lead that they'd later surrender. Ronnie Belliard won the game with a sacrifice fly in the 10th.Jeff D'Amico (2001)This one reall
