The New York Yankees defeat the Baltimore Orioles 5-3 on Wednesday night after a key moment in the seventh inning. Pete Alonso hits a deep drive down the left-field line that is ruled foul following a review.
According to reports, Alonso has already homered earlier in the game and nearly adds another homer with the score tied at 3. After the review, the foul call stands, and Alonso eventually strikes out, leaving Baltimore in place to avoid the tie-breaking run. In the top of the eighth, the Yankees score twice, turning the game’s momentum and providing the margin they need to secure the win.
Both outlets describe the same sequence: Alonso’s nearly game-changing hit is judged foul after a review, and New York capitalizes shortly afterward with two runs in the eighth inning to close out the 5-3 victory.
