Replay reverses call for Rays
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Baseball's instant replay system produced its first reversal Friday when Tampa Bay's Carlos Pena had a two-run double changed to a three-run homer during the fourth inning against Minnesota.
Pena's drive to right field off Boof Bonser appeared to be touched by a fan before bouncing off the top of the fence. First base umpire Mike DiMuro signaled fan interference, bringing both managers out of the dugout.
The umpires huddled immediately and decided to look at the video for the third test of the system.
The crowd erupted in cheers when the umpires returned to the field and crew chief Gerry Davis signaled home run. The process took 4 minutes, 10 seconds.
