Notes & reviews
- replay,9,hosme001,KCA,rapue901,CHI12,O,Y,I,,H $Eric Hosmer's fly to CF was just beyond the stretch of CF Alex Rios; the ball was ruled in play and Hosmer reached 3B on the play; the ball hit the top of the wall and caromed off the railing behind the wall back onto the field; Royals manager Ned Yost asked about the call, so crew chief Ed Rapuano watched the replay and overturned the call to a home run; this is the second replay affecting a ball hit by rookie Eric Hosmer (6/3)
