Rays Sweep Yankees in ALDS After Controversial Spectator Interference Denies Anthony Volpe's Homer

The Tampa Bay Rays defeated the New York Yankees 4-3 in Game 3, sweeping the series. The decisive moment came when Anthony Volpe's potential two-run homer was called a spectator interference, with a fan touching the ball before it cleared the fence. The Rays' bullpen secured the win, with Bryan Baker striking out Trent Grisham to end the game. The Yankees' Max Fried gave up four runs on seven hits, including two home runs to Ryan Vilade and Victor Mesa Jr. Mesa's solo shot was the game-changer, making it a 4-2 game. The Rays will await the winner of the Cleveland Guardians and Chicago White Sox ALDS bout, with Chicago leading 2-1.
