The Red Sox opened the top of the seventh frame with two singles while the team was down, 2-0. 🤷 ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/8xe7uvfnW9 — NESN (@NESN) August 11, 2026MLB concluded, per Rule 5.09(c)(4), that the play became an appeal play after Seigler touched home plate. The appeal play overrules the third out, giving Boston what is essentially a "fourth out." Managers Chad Tracy and John Schneider had never seen this wild rule played out in a game, but Schneider wasn't happy, since the Red Sox benefitted. The Red Sox need to be attentive to the play on the field to give themselves the best chance to win, which is crucial in their upcoming playoff stretch.
