The New York Yankees defeated the Baltimore Orioles 5-3 on Wednesday night in a game that included a controversial call in the seventh inning. A deep fly by Pete Alonso was ruled a foul ball, a decision that proved pivotal as the Yankees scored twice in the eighth to secure the victory.
Pete Alonso had already hit a home run in the third inning when he stepped up to the plate in the seventh with the score tied at 3. He drove a ball down the left-field line that appeared to be a potential home run, but it was immediately ruled foul by the umpires.
The call was reviewed, but after the review, the original call stood, and Alonso ultimately struck out. The New York Yankees then capitalized on this reprieve, scoring twice in the top of the eighth inning to take a 5-3 lead.
The game took place on Wednesday night, and the Yankees’ ability to score after the disputed call proved to be the difference in the outcome.
