MLB.com • • general
Key Points:
- Anthony Volpe's apparent two-run home run in Game 3 of the ALDS at Yankee Stadium was overturned to a double due to fan interference after replay review.
- Umpires ruled that Rays' left fielder Victor Mesa Jr. would not have caught the ball even without interference, so Volpe was credited with an RBI double.
- The Yankees lost the game 4-3, resulting in a series sweep by the Rays.
- The incident drew comparisons to the famous 1996 postseason play where a young fan interfered with a Derek Jeter hit, altering the outcome of that game.
