MLB Replay Reviews 120, 121: Rob Drake, Joe West (2, 3)

Instant Replay Review overturned 1B Umpire Rob Drake's out call  in the top of the 4th and 2B Umpire Joe West's safe call in the top of the 11th inning of the Yankees-Rays game. In the 4th, with two out and one on, Yankees batter Brett Gardner hit a 3-1 sinker from Rays pitcher Cesar Ramos on the fly to deep right-center field, where the ball was fielded by right fielder Will Myers. Upon Instant Replay Review as the result of a challenge by Yankees Manager Joe Girardi, Drake's ruling that Myers caught the ball in flight was reversed and Gardner placed at second base, the call was incorrect. At the time of the review, the contest was tied, 0-0.

In the 11th, with one out and one on, Yankees baserunner Ichiro Suzuki attempted to steal second base off Rays pitcher Heath Bell and catcher Jose Molina, who threw to second baseman Logan Forsythe as Ichiro arrived at second base. Upon Instant Replay Review as the result of a challenge by Rays Manager Joe Maddon, West's ruling that Forsythe did not catch the ball and tag Ichiro prior to his arrival at second base was reversed, the call was incorrect. At the time of the review, the contest was tied, 1-1. The Yankees ultimately won the contest, 5-1, in 12 innings.
