Craig Albernaz (C - TB)
8/20/26 3:14 AM - Orioles call for more technology after Pete Alonso's near-homer is ruled foul vs. Yankees. The Baltimore Orioles are calling for Major League Baseball to use technology to determine whether balls are fair or foul. The Orioles felt aggrieved Wednesday night against the New York Yankees after Pete Alonso’s deep fly to left field in the seventh inning was ruled foul — and the call was upheld on a review. The play occurred with the game tied at 3-all, and the Yankees went on to win 5-3. Alonso says baseball should do something like football with its pylon camera. Manager Craig Albernaz says there's no reason not to use ball-tracking data on calls like that.
