In the bottom of the eighth inning on Wednesday night in the Bronx, the Yankees were trailing the Blue Jays 6–4.
Giancarlo Stanton entered the batter’s box with a runner on first. Toronto pitcher Trevor Richards delivered the 1–0 pitch home and Stanton drove the 93 mile-per-hour four-seam fastball to deep left field.
Yankees play-by-play announcer John Sterling was certain that Stanton had just tied the game—except he didn’t.
