A contentious overturned call in the eighth inning fueled the Chicago White Sox's 7-6 win over the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night. With the White Sox trailing by one run, shortstop Elvis Andrus attempted to score from second on Zach Remillard's single to left field. Rangers left fielder Travis Jankowski's throw home appeared to nail Andrus at the plate, initially ending the inning.

However, the White Sox challenged the call, arguing that catcher Jonah Heim had illegally blocked the plate without giving Andrus a clear path. After review, the call was reversed, awarding the White Sox the tying run and igniting a fiery ejection of Rangers manager Bruce Bochy. The White Sox capitalized on the momentum swing, scoring three runs in the eighth to secure the victory.

Bochy expressed his disbelief at the overturned call post-game, labeling it one of the worst he'd ever witnessed. He emphasized the lack of contact between Andrus and Heim and questioned the replay officials' interpretation of the rule. Heim echoed Bochy's sentiments, stating his confusion about how he could have blocked the plate while positioned behind it. White Sox manager Pedro Grifol admitted to not having seen the replay but stated that the challenge was based on both the play at the plate and potential plate blocking.

The controversial call overshadowed what had been a close contest. The win improved the White Sox's record to 32-43, while the Rangers dropped to 45-28. The incident is likely to fuel further debate about the interpretation and application of the plate-blocking rule in Major League Baseball.
