The Boston Red Sox scored a run on a sacrifice fly without the runner tagging up from third base. The play occurred during a game against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night.
Anthony Seigler scored the run for the Red Sox, crossing home plate before Nick Sogard was called out at first base. The Blue Jays had thought the catch by center fielder Brett Batemen was the third out of the inning, but the umpires ultimately ruled in favor of the Red Sox.
The play resulted in a 17-minute delay as the umpires conferred with MLB’s replay center to determine the correct call. In the end, the Red Sox were awarded the run, but still lost the game 2-1.
