Umpire's controversial tagging call leaves Yankees confused

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Confusion remained the predominant feeling for the New York Yankees late Friday night as a few still struggled to figure out what all happened during a bizarre sequence in the middle of their game against the Los Angeles Angels.

As Yankees first baseman Neil Walker's would-be three-run homer was denied to start an inning-ending double play, they still escaped the play with a run. Later replays questioned whether they should have been awarded it.

That run ultimately proved necessary for the Yankees, too. A ninth-inning rally followed by Didi Gregorius' homer in the 10th helped New York sneak past the Angels, 4-3.
