Notes & reviews

replay,9,butlb003,KCA,cedeg901,KAN06,O,Y,I,,H $Billy Butler's fly ball hit just over the top of the padded wall, bounced and struck the railing in front of the seats; it caromed back onto the field and was ruled in play; Royals manager Ned Yost asked about the call, so crew chief Gary Cederstrom watched the replay and overturned the call to a game-ending homer; this is the second time a game ended on an overturned call (8/29/2010 @ Atltanta)
