Baltimore Orioles fans, players and commentators reacted angrily after a potential go-ahead home run by New York Yankees slugger Pete Alonso was ruled foul on Wednesday night, even after the call went to replay review. The disputed decision came at a pivotal moment in a tightly contested game between the two American League rivals, fuelling frustration among Orioles supporters already anxious about their team's fading play-off hopes.

Alonso, the former New York Mets star, appeared to hit his 30th home run of the season in the seventh inning with the score tied at 3-3, sending the ball down the left-field line before jogging towards first base. Umpires ultimately ruled the ball had gone foul, a decision upheld following replay review, denying Alonso and the Yankees what would have been a go-ahead run and leaving Orioles fans and pundits questioning the accuracy of the call despite the use of instant-replay technology.
