The Tampa Bay Rays protested their 5-4 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday after a disputed replay challenge and hope to have the game replayed.
The play in question happened in the fourth inning when Tampa Bay's Wil Myers was called safe on a pick-off throw to first base.
After Tampa Bay hitter Yunel Escobar stepped into the batter's box and play was ready to resume, Toronto manager John Gibbons requested a replay challenge that overturned the call and deemed Myers out at first.
