Ceddanne Rafaela disputes ruling in Yankees victory over Red Sox
Summary

The New York Yankees defeated the Boston Red Sox 16-1 on Sunday, ending the season series between the two clubs. A pivotal moment occurred in the fifth inning when Red Sox center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela made a diving attempt on a Jazz Chisholm hit. Although officials ruled the ball a trap, allowing runners to advance and fueling a five-run inning for the Yankees, Rafaela maintained he secured the catch. The Red Sox challenged the ruling, but the call stood after a video review. Rafaela, who suffered a neck injury during the play, expressed frustration, noting that the inning shifted the momentum of the contest. Interim manager Chad Tracy stated that the standing ruling indicated replay officials could not find conclusive evidence to overturn the on-field decision.
