Rangers infielder Marcus Semien was out by a hair, or in this case, the tip of a finger.
That was the call at the end of a lengthy video review that resulted in a bizarre double-play in the bottom of the fifth inning in the Rangers’ 10-3 Game 4 blowout loss in the ALCS on Thursday night.
But Abreu managed to tag the tip of Semien’s batting glove, resulting in an out on a play where he was originally ruled safe. The overturned call resulted in the second out of the inning, and rookie Evan Carter subsequently lined out to center field to end the inning.
