Red Sox score bizarre run using fourth out rule against Blue Jays

In a game on August 11 at Rogers Centre, the Boston Red Sox faced the Toronto Blue Jays and experienced a unique situation involving MLB's 'fourth out' rule. The confusion arose in the seventh inning when a line drive led to a force out and subsequent miscommunication about the number of outs. The Red Sox's Anthony Seigler scored after running home before an appeal out at first base was completed. Umpires reviewed the situation and confirmed that Seigler's run counted due to the timing of the outs. Despite the unusual circumstances, Boston ultimately lost the game 2-1.
