The quick explanation:
with runners on first and second running, a line drive is caught at 2nd base. The runner on second was out by "bag-tagging" as he headed to 3rd; the runner on 1st was tagged out rounding 2nd base.
The specific explanation:
Cleveland's 2nd baseman Asdrubal Cabrera made a diving grab of a Toronto's Lyle Overbay line-drive, with the runners on first and second going. Cabrera then touches 2nd to get Kevin Mench running from 2nd to 3rd...and finally tags Marco Scaturo running from 1st to 2nd to turn out #3.

What is an unassited triple play?
According to the Society for American Baseball Research, there have been 13 unassisted triple plays in MLB since 1876, the first being in 1909. That would make the odds of an unassisted triple play about 1 in every 10 years. Interestingly, these things seem to come in groups. Six of the thirteen came in the 1920s. Three of the thirteen have come in the 2000s. And on top of that, there were unassisted triple plays on successive days in 1927. On May 30, 1927 shortstop Jimmy Cooney of the Chicago Cubs turned an unassisted triple play against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The very next day first baseman Johnny Neun of the Detroit Tigers turned an unassisted triple play against the Cleveland Indians.
