Instant replay confirmed 1B Umpire Tripp Gibson's out call in the bottom of the 1st inning of the Dodgers-Angels game. With one out and none on, Angels batter Mike Trout hit a fly ball off Dodgers pitcher Dan Haren to center fielder Yasiel Puig, who threw to shortstop Hanley Ramirez to catcher A.J. Ellis for an originally ruled out (triple and caught attempting an inside-the-park home run). Upon instant replay review as the result of an argument by Angels Manger Mike Scioscia and initiation by crew chief Gerry Davis, Gibson's ruling that Ellis tagged Trout prior to Trout's arrival and that Ellis did not violate Rule 7.13 by blocking home plate without possession of the ball was upheld, the call was correct. At the time of the instant replay review, the contest was tied, 0-0. The contest ultimately ended in a tie, 4-4, in 10 innings.
