B.J. Surhoff’s grounder off reliever Roberto Hernandez’s glove went to shortstop Felix Martinez, who threw the ball to first for what seemed like the final out in host Tampa Bay’s victory.
After an argument, third-base ump John Shulock overruled first-base ump Brian Runge, saying Fred McGriff’s foot came off first base. The game resumed after a nine-minute delay and after Charles Johnson singled, Hernandez struck out Brady Anderson with the tying run on third.
Inside pitch: McGriff’s 399th career homer, a two-run shot off Buddy Groom (3-3) with one out in the eighth inning, led Tampa Bay.
