For the second night in a row, the final out of a World Series game involved some drama.

With a runner on third and two outs in the ninth inning on Saturday in Game 2, first base umpire James Hoye ruled that the Tampa Bay Rays' Yandy Diaz was unable to hold his swing on a third strike from Milwaukee Brewers lefty Aaron Ashby.

Home plate umpire Jim Wolf initially didn't think that Diaz had gone around, but Brewers catcher William Contreras won his appeal to first. The strikeout ended the Brewers' 5-4 win at American Family Field in Milwaukee, overcoming a four-run deficit against Tampa Bay.
