After challenge, ump changes call without replay

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Nolan Fontana was called safe and then out on the same play by the same umpire -- without a replay review.

Welcome to the majors, kid. Nothing is certain.

Making his major league debut for the Los Angeles Angels, Fontana was initially ruled safe by second-base umpire Hunter Wendelstedt on a stolen base attempt in the second inning Monday night against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Rays manager Kevin Cash challenged the call -- but before there was even a video review, Wendelstedt correctly changed his ruling to out.
