Notes & reviews

replay,3,hosme001,KCA,wintm901,KAN06,O,N,I,,H $Eric Hosmer's fly got wedged in the padding at the top of the wall; a fan had reached out but did not touch the ball; once it was stuck, the fan pulled it out of the padding and held it up; it was ruled a dead ball and a double; when the Royals asked about the call, crew chief Mike Winters watched the replay and upheld the call
