The sour grape topping of the humble pie the New York Yankees were served this weekend came unexpectedly. They were swept in Tampa after an insanely odd play occurred in in the ninth inning of Sunday’s 7-6 extra-innings loss to The Rays. It came when Clint Frazier hit a ball that looked and sounded like it was headed for the seats in left at Tropicana Field.
However, the ball was hit so high that it struck a speaker on the roof of the domed park and ricocheted to shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria for an out.
