Ty France's potential go-ahead home run was ruled an out because his towering ninth-inning fly ball struck an overhead stadium cable. Under local ground rules detailed by MLB.com, the roof-aided collision resulted in a caught flyout rather than a home run.
The out allowed the Milwaukee Brewers to escape with a Game 1 victory over the San Diego Padres. Yet debate immediately followed over whether San Diego was denied a critical lead.
