Reviewed call in the fifth
Luke Scott hit a shot off starter James Shields in the bottom of the fifth that appeared to hit the AT&T sign on the wall in right-center.
While running around first on his way to a double, Scott was twirling his hand above his head signaling the ball should be a home run; he felt it cleared the front wall and caromed off the back one.
Buck Showalter ran out to argue and the umpiring crew quickly gathered, and decided to review the call.
Moments later they came back and ruled the ball did not clear the wall and indeed struck the top of the AT&T sign -- the wall that was in play.
It was the second reviewed home run call this season at Camden Yards. The other was on June 5 when Boston's Marco Scutaro hit a ball down the left field foul-line that was initially rules a foul. Both calls, after reviews, were confirmed.
The only other reviewed home run call the Orioles have had this season was on July 3 at Fenway Park, when Jake Fox hit a ball that was first called a double off the Green Monster. After an umpires' review, the call was overturned and Fox was awarded the home run.
Saturday's ruling didn't mean much. Felix Pie followed with a double to score Scott.
The Scott double, however, chased James Shields, who was tagged for six runs in 4 1/3 innings.
