Springer's home run overturned by replay review
Houston's George Springer had a two-run home run overturned by replay during Sunday's game vs. the Angels. (AP)HOUSTON -- An overturned call cost Astros outfielder George Springer his second home run of the season Sunday afternoon.
Springer, who slugged his first homer of the year in Saturday's win, shot a 2-2 pitch from Angels reliever Vinnie Pestano down the right-field line with one runner on base in the seventh inning and was initially rewarded with a home run.
The ball cleared the wall right at the base of the right-field foul pole and was initially called fair, though right fielder Kole Calhoun and first baseman Albert Pujols put their hands in the air to signal that it was foul.
