Pete Alonso's home run called foul in Orioles vs. Yankees game

During a game on August 20, 2026, Pete Alonso hit a home run that was ruled foul after a replay review. The call left the game tied at the time, denying the Orioles a potential go-ahead lead against the Yankees. MLB's Replay Center stated they could not definitively determine the fairness of the ball due to camera angle limitations. Alonso expressed his frustration, noting that only one angle was available to assess the call. The Orioles eventually lost the game after giving up runs in the subsequent inning, but the controversy highlighted the need for improved technology in ballpark replay systems.
