Red Sox Navigate Confusing Rules Review to Score Against Blue Jays
During a recent game between the Boston Red Sox and the Toronto Blue Jays, a lengthy 15-minute video review ensued due to a baserunning error by the Red Sox. The incident occurred in the seventh inning when Red Sox shortstop Nick Sogard hit a line drive that was caught by Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr., leading to confusion among the players regarding the number of outs.
As the play unfolded, Red Sox catcher Connor Wong found himself caught between bases, and the baserunners mistakenly believed there were two outs, prompting them to run on contact. This led to a double play when Blue Jays center fielder Brett Bateman caught a fly ball and threw to first base. The Blue Jays appealed the play, which initiated the review process.
After the review, the umpires confirmed that the run scored for the Red Sox, despite the confusion surrounding the baserunning rules. Ultimately, the Red Sox lost the game 2-1, making the lengthy review and the run scored inconsequential in the final outcome.
