CHICAGO _ A night after replay review helped the Orioles hang on for a wild win, the Chicago White Sox used the new fixture of the game to secure a victory of their own.
The White Sox were granted the go-ahead run when a ball initially ruled foul down the left-field line was reversed to a fair ball on replay, and tacked on another with a late home run to beat the Orioles, 4-2, on Saturday night at U.S. Cellular Field in front of an announced 28,491 fans.
Chicago had loaded the bases in the seventh inning with three singles off Orioles starter Chris Tillman (14-4) and reliever Mychal Givens before the pop-up in question by White Sox catcher Omar Narvaez, which was just out of the reach of third baseman Manny Machado.
It took a long review, but the umpires called the ball fair as it caught a bit of chalk down the foul line. The result was different for the hosts than Friday's big review, which ended an eighth-inning rally on a poor base-running play by Dioner Navarro.
With the loss, the Orioles fell to 62-47, but a corresponding loss by the Toronto Blue Jays means the two teams remained tied for first place in the American League East.
