The New York Yankees’ season ended in embarrassing fashion on Wednesday night, getting swept on their home field by their AL East rival Tampa Bay Rays in the American League Division Series.
The Bombers fell, 4-3, to the Rays, but there may be an argument that the game should have been tied at four after Anthony Volpe’s fan-interfered fly ball in the sixth inning.
With George Lombard on first and two outs, the Yankees infielder hit a fly ball into left field that kept carrying toward the outfield wall. The ball went into the seats, and umpires initially called it a game-tying home run, but upon replay review, it was turned it into an RBI double instead after an angle clearly showed a fan reach over the wall (he was eventually booted from the ballpark). Spencer Jones struck out to end the threat, and the Yankees would not score again.

“After viewing all relevant angles, the Replay Official definitively determined the spectator interfered with the ball over the field of play. The ball would not have left the playing field nor would it have been caught,” MLB’s Replay Center said in a statement shortly after the occasion, via the New York Post.
However, MLB’s Statcast initially said otherwise.
Volpe hit his ball 357 feet with an exit velocity of 97.9 mph and a 42-degree launch angle. In normal cases, it’s an easy flyout, as it had an expected batting average of .060). However, Statcast originally said that the trajectory of the ball would have led to a home run in 13 ballparks, including Yankee Stadium.
But as of Thursday morning, Yankee Stadium is no longer included in stadiums where the ball flight would have been a homer.
TRUMP SAYS HE’LL GIVE ROGER CLEMENS THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM: ‘THIS SUPERSEDES ANYTHING I’VE DONE’
Sportsball, perhaps ironically, released a video on X Wednesday morning explaining how Statcast uses 12 Hawkeye cameras in each ballpark to determine home-run distances “within about a foot.”
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the umpires “did a good job” on their call.
“When he hit it, to my eye looking out there, I was a little concerned right away because it felt like something, I wasn’t sure. And then seeing the replay and seeing it unfold, I thought they did the right thing. I thought they got it right,” Boone said.

“Just seeing it through the replay and hoping for the best. But, crazy,” Volpe added.
So, replay shows it very likely would have came up short, Statcast apparently changed its mind, and Major League Baseball says it undoubtedly would have been short.

In any case, it can be argued that no one definitively knows whether Volpe’s fly ball would have been gone, and a Yankee fan may or may not have robbed his own favorite team at a chance of a postseason comeback.

NEW YORK — Down 2-0 in the best-of-five ALDS to the Tampa Bay Rays, the New York Yankees were counting on their home crowd to provide the necessary boost to help them climb back into the series. In the sixth inning of Game 3 on Wednesday, the Bronx crowd tried to give their beloved ballclub a helping hand — literally. Unfortunately, that gesture fell beyond the regulated boundaries of home-field advantage.
Anthony Volpe — inserted into the starting lineup in place of Jazz Chisholm Jr. with manager Aaron Boone seeking a spark for his morose offense — strolled to the plate against Rays right-hander Griffin Jax with two outs and the Yankees down 4-2. Volpe represented the tying run, with rookie George Lombard Jr. on first after drawing a walk. When Jax fired a 96-mph sinker inside on a 1-0 count, Volpe lifted the ball with force, sending it soaring into the New York sky at a 42-degree launch angle. On contact, it looked like a harmless flyout to end the inning. But the ball stayed almost stuck in the air, willed by the eager crowd to float toward the seats.

Rays left fielder Victor Mesa Jr. drifted back, tracking the ball’s descent. But as he leapt to try to snag the ball, a pair of Yankees fans just above the fence reached over and interrupted his attempt. The ball clanged off their hands and hopped the fence for what initially appeared to be the game-tying, two-run blast the home crowd was hoping for — until replay review revealed a less-flattering reality.
Home plate umpire and crew chief Dan Bellino announced to the sellout crowd of 48,865 what was blatantly obvious to anyone watching at home, with the benefit of multiple camera angles: It was spectator interference, and the ball would not have cleared the wall without assistance.
It was ruled a double rather than an out, with the replay center determining that Mesa would not have caught the ball, but Lombard would have scored from first. Volpe, having rounded the bases and returned to a tunnel of high-fives in the rejuvenated Yankees dugout, sheepishly sauntered back to second base. Jax then struck out Spencer Jones on three pitches to end the inning.

A tie game it was not. The Yankees had cut the Rays’ lead to one, but had more work to do if they wanted to extend their season another day.
Another run never arrived. The 4-4 score that lingered for a few minutes on the giant Yankee Stadium video board never came to fruition. The corrected tally, 4-3, stayed intact for the final three frames of the ballgame. As a result, the Rays completed their sweep of the Yankees in fitting fashion: with contributions from a potpourri of unheralded players who are thriving with Tampa Bay after flying under the radar elsewhere.
Coming off the franchise’s worst campaign in nearly a decade — 77 wins and a fourth-place finish in the AL East — the Rays spent this past offseason shaking up their roster. The bulk of the headlines Tampa Bay made with its transactional activity involved notable subtractions, rather than additions. Longtime closer Pete Fairbanks departed in free agency. Brandon Lowe, the team’s longest tenured player, was traded to Pittsburgh. Rotation mainstay Shane Baz was dealt to Baltimore. Outfield staple Josh Lowe was shipped to Anaheim. It was clear the Rays were going to look different in 2026.
The moves made to upgrade the roster throughout the winter, meanwhile, attracted far less attention. But fast-forward to the Rays’ rowdy celebration on Wednesday in the visitors’ clubhouse at Yankee Stadium, and it’s clear they would not be popping bottles without a series of those stealthy moves executed last winter.

Seemingly shirtless before all of his teammates in the postgame champagne celebration was right-hander Nick Martinez, who signed a one-year, $13 million free-agent deal back in February and started Game 3 on the mound for Tampa Bay. His effort Wednesday — two runs allowed over 3 ⅔ innings before making way for a quintet of stellar relief outings — was modest relative to his spectacular regular-season contributions.
But it was no accident that the Rays felt confident giving him the ball for his first career postseason start at age 36; he spent the past eight months earning the admiration of the entire clubhouse. Not only did he enjoy a bona fide breakout on the mound en route to his first All-Star appearance, but Martinez also immediately assumed a leadership role as an affable connector of all corners of the clubhouse.
“He’s the guy that’s organizing team events,” said catcher Liam Hicks, who joined the Rays at the August trade deadline and instantly recognized Martinez’s outsized role away from the ballpark. “He’s just the man. He’s the guy that you can go to for anything.”

“Nick is everybody’s biggest cheerleader the days he doesn’t pitch and maybe more so on the days he does pitch,” manager Kevin Cash said. “He puts a smile on everybody’s face because he cares so much. He’s always asking, ‘what can I do? How can I help you?’ He’s been instrumental to our success.”
“He brought this team together like nobody could,” Rays hitting coach Ozzie Timmons said. “That’s why they call him the Prez — he comes here, he brings that energy every day, no matter how things are going. He’s always positive.”
That Martinez has emerged as not just a key clubhouse presence but also a crucial member of the pitching staff for the best team in the American League is the latest chapter in a truly unique baseball journey. A Miami native, Martinez was primarily a shortstop at Fordham University before converting full-time to the mound upon entering pro ball with the Rangers. He spent four years in the majors with Texas before heading across the globe to pitch in Japan, where he found another gear with a reinvented arsenal and improved command. After returning to the big leagues in 2022, Martinez excelled in a swingman role with San Diego and Cincinnati before joining Tampa Bay as a full-time rotation member.
Last year, when Martinez was with Cincinnati, the Reds called up an outfielder named Ryan Vilade in June, after claiming him off waivers from St. Louis a couple of weeks earlier. Martinez recognized his name but struggled to place him immediately.

“We picked him up, and I’m like, ‘Man, I know that last name,'” Martinez recalled. “I remember his dad.”
James Vilade was a coach for the Frisco RoughRiders, the Rangers’ Double-A affiliate that Martinez pitched for in 2013 and 2014.
“I’m like, ‘Is that his son?'”
Sure enough.
“I hadn’t seen him in 12 years. He comes up like, ‘Hey, I’m Vilade — I was your bat boy [with Frisco].’ I was like, ‘Oh s***, what’s up, dude?! Good to see you again!'”
The reunion in Cincinnati was brief. Vilade appeared in one game with the Reds as a defensive substitution — in a Martinez start, as it were — before returning to Triple-A. But just a few months later, he became the first player to change teams during the offseason. On Nov. 3, the day the Dodgers held their World Series parade, the Rays acquired Vilade from Cincinnati in exchange for cash considerations.

“I was shocked,” Vilade said of the trade while soaked in champagne and surrounded by cigar smoke. A couple hours earlier, he had provided the first big swing of the ballgame, a go-ahead solo homer to the short porch in right field off Yankees ace lefty Max Fried that made it 2-1 Tampa Bay. “It kind of blindsided me. But man, I’m so happy they did.”
Vilade was a top prep prospect and second-round pick by the Rockies out of high school in 2017. He never stuck in Colorado and bounced around a few other organizations without getting a prolonged run in the majors. But he was terrific in Triple-A for St. Louis and Cincinnati in 2025, making him an intriguing platoon target for Tampa Bay.
“When Erik [Neander] called me in November and said, ‘Hey, listen, this is going to be your job. You’re going to handle left-handed pitching,'” he recalled, “I felt from that time that this is my role. I felt pretty good.”

On cue, the Rays’ president of baseball operations appeared, similarly drenched and rocking pink goggles for eye protection.
“A+,” Neander proclaimed, beaming as he gave Vilade a big hug. “He deserves this.”
“We should have done it sooner,” Neander said as he bounced away. “We screwed up. We should’ve gotten him last year.”
Like Martinez, Vilade brings a dose of positive hype and uplifting spirit to the clubhouse, even beyond what he does on the field.
“He brings the energy every single night,” said Rays starter Drew Rasmussen, whose no-hit bid in Game 1 set the tone for Tampa Bay’s sweep. “But then on top of it, what he’s done against left-handed pitching all year has been unbelievable. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.”

With just 71 major-league plate appearances to his name entering this season, Vilade hit .272/.341/.477 with seven homers in 170 plate appearances against left-handers. And that was before his stadium-silencing moon shot off Fried.
“Just watch this place,” Rasmussen said, motioning to Martinez and Vilade in the center of the clubhouse dance party. “It revolves around those two.”
Vilade’s swing against Fried was pivotal, but it would not have been enough on its own. The Yankees drew even shortly after on a Spencer Jones RBI double.
So in the top of the sixth, it was yet another offseason addition’s turn to make an impact in the series clincher. A few days before they signed Martinez in February, the Rays acquired Victor Mesa Jr. from Miami in a trade for minor-league infielder Angel Brachi. The son of a legendary Cuban player and manager, Mesa harbored some prospect value coming up with the Marlins and debuted with them in 2025 but didn’t seem to fit into their long-term plans.

He looked like depth for the Rays at the time of the deal and began this season in Triple-A. But after being recalled in late May, Mesa established himself as an every-day outfielder for Tampa Bay, thanks in large part to his ability to hit against pitchers from both sides. That comfort was on display in Game 3, as the lefty-swinging Mesa swatted a first-pitch sweeper from the southpaw Fried for a two-run homer that made it 4-2 Rays in the sixth — notching the fourth run that would ensure victory by the end of the night.
“Awesome human being,” Rasmussen said of Mesa. “He’s going to be a superstar.”
Awaiting Mesa at home plate: face of the franchise Junior Caminero, who also joined the Rays in an offseason trade that seemed insignificant at the time.

This is what the Rays do. No transaction can be dismissed. Lacking the financial might of many of their biggest rivals, winning on the margins is paramount for Tampa Bay. And Neander and his front office have proven time and again that they can construct rosters capable of keeping pace with — or, in this case, downright dominating — the higher-salaried competition.
“This is the first playoff series I’ve ever won,” a glowing Rasmussen said. “We were one-and-done in 2020 because I was with Milwaukee. One-and-done in ’21. One-and-done in ’22. One-and-done in ’23. So to see one go through the uprights is really nice.”
“It’s unbelievable to do it with this group,” he added. “I bet you you can walk around this room. No one needs credit. Everyone’s willing to do the job that’s asked of them, and it just makes it such a fun environment to be in.”
From one of the best pitchers in the American League in Rasmussen to an unsung platoon bat in Vilade, the 2026 Rays are flying high. Next up: the ALCS, for just the third time in franchise history.

“We’re pretty happy to be here right now,” Rasmussen said. “But the job’s not finished.”
“I’m grateful that I landed here,” Vilade added. “I love this team. I love this organization.
“And we’re not done yet.”

Sex and the City costars Kim and SJP had dodged feud rumors for years. But they were reignited after Kim decided not to return for a third movie and made comments about her costar that raised eyebrows.
“What was your reaction to Kim Cattrall telling Piers Morgan that you were never friends just colleagues?” Andy Cohen asked SJP on a September 2017 episode of Watch What Happens Live.
As she explained, “Just…heartbroken. I mean that whole week, you and I spoke about it because I was just…I don’t know I found it really upsetting because that’s, you know, that’s not the way I recall our experience.”
“So…it’s sad but I’m kind of…I don’t know, I always think that what ties us together is this singular experience is the thing,” she contined. “It was a professional experience but it became personal because it was years and years of our lives. So I’m hoping that that sort of eclipses anything that’s been recently spoken. That many years spent doing something so special that people had a connection with is such a privileged.”
And though they didn’t film scenes together, Kim did make a small appearance on And Just Like That.
During a 2022 TikTok challenge, JoJo Siwa described Candace Cameron Bure as the “rudest” celebrity, later explaining that she felt snubbed when Bure once refused to take a picture with her on a red carpet. Shortly after the dig, however, the Full House alum apologized: “I kind of broke your 11-year-old heart. I didn’t take a picture with you. Ugh! I feel crummy, I feel—JoJo, I’m so sorry.”
The two made amends. But months later, Candace was asked if she expects the Great American Family network, of which she serves as chief creative officer, to feature same-sex couples as leads in holiday movies. She said no, adding, “I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core.”
JoJo, who came out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community in 2021, wrote on Instagram that the actress’ comment is “rude and hurtful to a whole community of people.”
Bobby (pictured second from left) addressed rumors of a falling out with Tan (middle) in January 2024, two months after he announced his exit from Queer Eye after eight seasons.
“I want people to know that Tan and I—we will be fine,” he told Vanity Fair. “There was a situation, and that’s between Tan and I, and it has nothing to do with the show. It was something personal that had been brewing—and nothing romantic, just to clarify that.”
In March 2024, Tan responded to allegations that he had campaigned to replace Bobby on Queer Eye with his friend Jeremiah Brent.
“Netflix and the production companies did a full-on casting. I didn’t put my friend up for the job. They ended up getting it because they were the best person for the job,” he said on Instagram. “But I didn’t get them hired by getting rid of somebody else.”
In September 2023, while playing a game called Stir the Pot with her daughter Kelly Osbourne on E! News, Sharon said the That ’70s Show alum was the rudest celebrity she had ever met, branding him, a “rude, rude, rude, rude little boy” and a “dastardly little thing.”
He did not respond to her remarks publicly.
Five years prior, Sharon told Larry King that when Ashton appeared on The Talk in 2014, he had an “attitude” after she got his name wrong.
“He goes, ‘What are you, what have you done in this industry?'” she recalled. “And I was like, ‘Kid, don’t start with me, because I’m gonna eat you up and s–t you out.’ So I was just like, ‘You don’t know what you’re dealing with, kid.'”
During a 2019 appearance on Watch What Happens Live, the Happy Days actor was asked why he didn’t get along with the Forrest Gump star on the set of the 1989 flick Turner & Hooch.
“I was directing that movie for 13 days,” Winkler recalled, “and then I was called into [producer] Jeff Katzenberg’s office and he said, ‘You have everything with you? Go home.'”
He did, however, seem to get along with Hanks’ four-legged costar, quipping, “Love that dog.”
Winkler later denied speculation that he still had beef with the Oscar winner, telling TMZ in 2020, “I don’t have a feud with Tom Hanks.”
The costars reignited their ongoing feud in 2017 when Tyrese publicly called out Dwayne on Instagram after the Fast and Furious 9 release date was pushed back to April 2020. That same day, it was announced that a Fast and Furious spinoff starring Dwayne and Jason Statham would hit theaters in 2019. The following month, Tyrese threatened to quit Fast 9 if Dwayne was in the movie.
Tyrese then opened up about the feud, telling Van Lathan on The Red Pill podcast, “I have yet to talk to The Rock to this day, and we will have a conversation.” He shared that he did have a chat with the former wrestler’s producing partner, but not the actor himself.
“I found myself being the messenger on behalf of various people associated to the franchise, but stupid me was the only one who went public about those feelings, which is my own fault,” Tyrese said. “It’s not professional, it’s not cool.”
The former Grey’s Anatomy star sparked a feud with the series creator in 2008 when she removed her name from the Emmy Awards consideration. The actress stated that her reason for the move was because she wasn’t “given the material to warrant a nomination.”
Shonda later opened up about Katherine’s decision during an interview with Oprah Winfrey on Oprah’s Next Chapter in 2012. “On some level it stung and on some level I was not surprised,” she said. “When people show you who they are, believe them. I carry that [mantra] with me a lot. It has served me well.”
It was the New York Fashion Week fight heard ’round the world when Nicki and Cardi got into a heated altercation at the Harper’s Bazaar Icon party. The following month, Cardi opened up about the catalyst for the fight with Nicki.
“For a while now she’s been taking a lot of shots at me,” Cardi said in W magazine’s Art Issue. “I spoke to her twice before, and we came to an understanding. But she kept it going.”
The real spark of the fight came when Cardi saw that Nicki had allegedly liked and then unliked a tweet about Cardi’s parenting skills, which Nicki has denied.
“I was going to make millions off my Bruno Mars tour, and I sacrificed that to stay with my daughter,” Cardi continued. “I love my daughter. I’m a good-ass f–king mom. So for somebody that don’t have a child to like that comment? So many people want to say that party wasn’t the time or the place, but I’m not going to catch another artist in the grocery store or down the block.”

Before 1878, a referee trying to get players’ attention was left to waive a white handkerchief in the air. It was an imperfect practice, asking an infractor to be self-aware enough to look for a doffed doily after hard contact. The game forever changed when Joseph Hudson, a Birmingham-bred tool maker who founded Acme Whistles, showed up to an FA Cup match in 1878 with his signature product in tow.
On Tuesday, nearly 150 years after Hudson’s innovation, referee Steven Madrigal paid the architect a hearty tribute.
The United States and Canada closed the lengthy window with a stop-start, physical, and at times ugly affair, with the hosts claiming a 1-0 victory on an otherwise gorgeous autumn evening in Minnesota. Justin Ellis bagged his second goal for the US with a first-time finish, while Brian Schwake kept a clean sheet in his first international start.
As for the music to Hudson’s belated ears: 43 fouls committed between the sides, with the US also leading that count by one.
The regional rivals wasted no time in letting the game get chippy, as games between them tend to get. In the 2026 World Cup, only group opponents Bosnia and Herzegovina and Switzerland averaged more fouls per game (14.4) than Canada; their 11 yellow cards trailed only Argentina (13) and Egypt (12) despite playing fewer games than each.
Marsch’s side committed nine fouls in the opening 16 minutes to the hosts’ three, keeping the US from building a head of steam whenever they had the ball. Boos followed each foul on Tuesday, with the loudest jeering saved for touches by Canada goalkeeper Dayne St Clair, returning to the venue for the first time since leaving Minnesota United for Inter Miami as a free agent after seven seasons in Saint Paul.
A heavily rotated US side struggled to find avenues while keeping the ball on the ground, slinging passes from side to side in a fruitless attempt to unsettle the Canadian defensive block. Justin Ellis was the unfortunate first victim of a hard challenge, staying on the Allianz Field pitch for a few minutes after a collision in the 20th minute, but he was able to continue after some medical treatment.
Perhaps the physios ought to be credited with a second assist for their efforts. Five minutes after re-entering the game, Ellis navigated the channel as Alex Freeman worked a one-two to get the ball into the final third. The pair of Orlando academy products connected with aplomb, as Freeman’s cross bypassed St Clair for Ellis to slam home. The 19-year-old has two goals in his first three appearances for the US – doubling his club goal tally from 19 MLS appearances to date.
The game failed to regain any normal flow from there, as the US showing greater willingness to meet Canada’s muscle. Costa Rican referee Steven Madrigal was kept busy throughout the first half, sussing out which way to award blame on 50/50 challenges and struggling to play the advantage with consistency. The fouls ledger was better balanced by half-time, with Canada’s 13 cautions outpacing 10 from the US.
The end of the half was the pinnacle of stop/start soccer. Canada conceded three corners in succession, with the third leading to a US free kick at the edge of the box after a Gio Reyna dribble; the ensuing attempt was promptly sent behind the goal by Canada for a fourth US corner. Despite five dead balls in close range of goal, the US failed to turn any one of them into a dangerous look as Reyna and Tillman alternated service. At last, Madrigal was able to close the half and give his whistle a break.
Marsch made one substitution at the break and Pochettino made two, yet little about the game’s composition altered after half-time. Auston Trusty took a particularly poignant clattering from Jonathan David in the 59th minute as the Atlético Madrid striker tried to win a header, coming up a split-second after the Celtic defender headed it clear.
Cole Campbell became the 13th player to make his US debut in the window in the 61st minute, and was immediately trying to force the Canada defensive block to retreat with upfield scampers. Canada began to mine more set pieces of their own, but failed to maximize the threat. Julian Hall ran on to a ball beyond the Canadian defense for a one-on-one with St Clair, only for his shot to catch the outside netting.
By the end, each team had managed just two attempts in the second half, with only one of Canada’s efforts landing on target. As if negotiated in the locker rooms, the sides maintained an identical 72% pass completion rate entering second-half stoppage.
In true Minnesota fashion, most of the crowd politely stuck around through the final whistle to bask in the beautiful fall weather that’s typical for the region. A bright and clear sky at kickoff made way for crisp air after sundown, which allowed the fans’ cheering, the drum corps’ beat, and the post-win rendition of “Country Roads” to linger a bit longer than usual.
As did that whistle, blown early and often.

The co-founders of a luxury women’s fashion brand, Bryn Walker, were found fatally shot outside their California home in a potential murder-suicide.
Michelle Min, 63, and her husband, Bryan Walker, 61, were found dead with gunshot wounds outside their Oakland Hills home Friday morning, police said.
Oakland police, who are leading the investigation, have not ruled out murder-suicide or determined who pulled the trigger. Police said they recovered a firearm at the scene.
However, Paul Min, 58, told the Los Angeles Times that he believes his sister was killed by her husband of over 30 years before he took his own life.
Authorities arrived at the home just before 11 a.m. Friday, after receiving reports of gunshots. Surveillance footage reviewed by CBS revealed a gun was fired at 10:43 a.m., followed by the sound of a man crying and screaming.
A second gunshot could be heard moments later, before becoming “dead quiet,” per CBS.
Paul Min said his brother-in-law had recently lost millions of dollars through a series of poor financial decisions — which left him struggling mentally and possibly suicidal.
Those risky financial moves apparently lost the couple “well over $100 million,” Paul Min told the New York Post.
He said that Walker recently suggested the three of them “end things.” Paul Min said he and his sister were alarmed, but did not fear for their lives.
However, the brother said he and his sister were discussing institutionalizing Walker — and that they had planned to bring him to a facility the day the couple was found dead.
“I have found a note that lists a couple of facilities,” Paul Min said. “I speculate he saw that note or somehow figured out she was going to institutionalize him, but I have no idea.”
A woman at the scene who identified herself as Michelle Min’s sister also told KTVU that her brother-in-law had been experiencing mental health challenges for some time.
Paul Min told the Post that authorities found a suicide note that included the passcodes to Walker’s and Michelle’s phones.
The devastated brother said he was going to run their fashion company while the family tries to reorganize Walker’s financial situation.
“My sister was utterly devoted to Bryan to the very end, and he shot her,” Paul Min said. “She didn’t say anything harsh to him. She just said, ‘Bryan, you’ve been sick. It’s my fault, I should have known better. I should have known you were in a crisis.’”
“She blamed herself. That’s the kind of person she was.”
According to the Bryn Walker website, the brand operates six company-owned stores “and wholesales to around a thousand boutiques nationwide.”
The company was founded in Berkeley in 1992 and is based in the San Francisco area.
The Independent has contacted the Oakland Police Department for more information.
