Talk about home-field advantage.
During the top of the ninth inning Sunday in St. Petersburg, a Clint Frazier moonshot - seemingly ticketed for Tropicana Field's left-field bleachers - clanked off the speaker affixed to the "B-Ring" catwalk and plummeted down into shallow left field, landing in the outstretched glove of Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria.
Consequently, instead of celebrating a go-ahead, ninth-inning home run, the New York Yankees youngster was ruled out, as any ball that strikes the B-Ring is in play.
The Rays would go on to win 7-6 and secure a three-game sweep of the Yankees on Jake Bauers' walk-off home run in the bottom of the 12th inning.
