Red Sox Score Bizarre Run on Sacrifice Fly without Tagging up From 3rd Base
A 17-minute replay review in the seventh inning allowed Boston’s run because Anthony Seigler crossed before the third out and Toronto never appealed.
- The Boston Red Sox lost to the Toronto Blue Jays 2-1 on Monday night in a game marred by a 17-minute delay over an obscure rule, with confusion stemming from a scoreboard that incorrectly displayed two outs.
- Boston's loss marks its third consecutive defeat, the longest skid since a four-game losing streak in June, ending a franchise-record stretch of 27 victories in 30 games.
- Anthony Seigler and Nick Sogard assumed the inning had ended after the scoreboard falsely showed two outs; umpires invoked MLB rule 5.09, determining Seigler's run counted because Toronto never appealed at third base.
- Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy described the situation as "a weird, very weird situation where players on both sides seemed to be confused on the outs," though Boston still fell short against Toronto Blue Jays pitching.
- In the second game of the four-game series on Tuesday, Red Sox LHP Patrick Sandoval will face RHP Dylan Cease , continuing Boston's attempt to halt the losing streak.
