CHICAGO (AP) — Umpires changed what was initially ruled a triple hit by Eric Hosmer in the ninth inning to a game-tying home run after a video review in Monday night’s game against the Chicago White Sox.
With the Royals trailing 4-3 in the ninth, Hosmer led off with what appeared to be a home run off White Sox closer Sergio Santos.
The ball appeared to clear the center-field wall but hit a railing on the side ricocheting the ball back onto the field.
Second base umpire Alfonso Marquez signaled the ball was in play as Hosmer advanced to third.
