What should have been a momentum-shifting moment for the\u00a0Boston Red Sox\u00a0quickly turned into controversy and chaos during Sunday\u2019s rubber match against the\u00a0San Francisco Giants.<\/p>\n

Trailing 8-5 in the top of the eighth inning, Jarren Duran ripped a leadoff double down the right-field line. He slid headfirst into second base, appearing to beat the tag with a clean dive and maintain contact with the bag. But second-base umpire Doug Eddings saw it differently, ruling Duran out for briefly coming off the base.<\/p>\n

Boston manager\u00a0Alex Cora\u00a0quickly challenged the call. Replay footage clearly showed Duran\u2019s hand on the bag before Willy Adames applied the tag again. Yet, despite the apparent evidence, the call stood after a Crew Chief Review.<\/p>\n
