The Rays won a series yesterday, but the highlight play of the game wasn’t made on the field. Or maybe it was. The umpires decided that it was, and that that was a problem.
Jim Turvey was on the recap, and this is how he described the play:
With one out in the fifth, Faria allowed what appeared to be a home run off the bat of Renato Nunez. The ball was caught by a fan, but it was ruled a double (fan interference) on the field. The replays certainly looked like the ball would have cleared the fence with the fan touching it, but that decision wasn’t clear enough to overturn the call on the field.
