There have been incidents with salad tongs, scorpions and cacti. And another with a thick phone book during a motivational session.

Replays confirmed conclusively that Adam Eaton had beat out the throw from Rays shortstop Yunel Escobar in the top of the ninth inning. Rays manager Joe Maddon had a challenge in his back pocket and a chance to put an end Friday night’s game against the White Sox by using it after Adam Eaton was ruled safe at first on a potential game-winning double-play ball.

Jose Abreu’s walk off grand slam gave the White Sox a 9-6 win Friday at U.S. Cellular Field. It was Abreu’s ninth home run in the month of April, the most by a rookie in Major League history.
