Notes & reviews

  • replay,2,machm001,BAL,tscht901,BAL12,O,Y,I,,H $Manny Machado's fly hit the top of the wall and caromed off the back wall onto the field; the back wall is behind the barrier and a homer; the ball was ruled in play by 1B umpire and crew chief Tim Tschida; the umpires huddled immediately; Tschida watched the replay and overturned the call to a home run
