Instant Replay Review confirmed 1B Umpire John Tumpane's Rule 7.13 violation no-call (out) in the bottom of the 8th inning of the Athletics-Angels game. With one out and one on, Angels batter Mike Trout hit a 2-1 slider from Athletics pitcher Luke Gregerson on a line drive to left fielder Yoenis Cespedes, who threw to catcher Derek Norris as Angels baserunner R1 Howie Kendrick slid into home plate. Upon Replay Review as the result of a request by Angels Manager Mike Scioscia and initiation by Crew Chief Bob Davidson, Tumpane's ruling was affirmed (both the ruling that Norris did not violate the provisions of the anti-blocking Rule 7.13 and the issue of whether the baserunner was safe/out), the call was correct. At the time of the review, the contest was tied, 1-1. The Angels ultimately won the contest, 2-1, in 14 innings.
