Instant Replay Review confirmed HP Umpire Bill Welke's live ball (ground rule, fair) call in the bottom of the 9th inning of the Athletics-Rays game. With one out and none on, Rays batter Logan Forsythe hit a 3-1 fastball from Athletics pitcher Sean Doolittle on a pop fly on the infield and off of the upper catwalk (mast between 'A' and 'B-Ring'). Upon Replay Review as the result of a request by A's Manager Bob Melvin and initiation by Crew Chief Brian Gorman, Welke's ruling was affirmed, the call was correct. At the time of the review, the Athletics were leading, 3-2. The Athletics ultimately won the contest, 3-2.
