NEW YORK (AP) -Gary Sheffield’s tiebreaking three-run homer for the New York Mets against the Washington Nationals has been upheld after a video review.
Third base umpire Adrian Johnson originally signaled a home run, which put the Mets ahead 4-1 in the sixth inning Monday. A fan reached out just before the fence reaches the 18 1/2-foot mark in left field, and the ball bounced back to the field.
Washington manager Manny Acta came out and argued, and all umpires except Dan Iassogna, who was working at first, went under the stands to consult video replay. After a 6-minute wait, crew chief Larry Vanover came back to the field and signaled home run, the 503rd of Sheffield’s career.
