Orioles Call for More Technology After Pete Alonso's Near-Homer Is Ruled Foul vs. Yankees

Pete Alonso’s apparent go-ahead drive was ruled foul twice, and the Yankees scored two runs in the eighth to seal the win, officials said.

  • On Wednesday night, the New York Yankees defeated the Baltimore Orioles 5-3 at Camden Yards after a disputed 7th-inning foul call against Pete Alonso was upheld following video review.
  • Alonso's drive down the left-field line initially appeared fair but was ruled foul, denying the Orioles a potential lead and fueling dugout frustration during the tight contest.
  • In the 8th inning, rookie George Lombard Jr. delivered an infield RBI single to break the tie, and a wild pitch later scored Jazz Chisholm Jr. to seal the victory.
  • "You definitely never know what they are going to rule," Orioles manager Craig Albernaz said post-game, noting that dugout tracking data indicated the ball was a home run.
  • Aiming for a series sweep Thursday night, the Yankees send pitcher Gerrit Cole to the mound against Baltimore's Kyle Bradish as the Orioles attempt to recover momentum.
