Toronto’s Ezequiel Carrera won’t know until Monday if his homer in a 6-1 loss to Tampa Bay is a standard one or inside-the-park. Carrera hit a drive to right field that replays showed reached the stands. However, there was no home run call made by the umpires. Carrera raced around the bases safely as Tampa Bay’s outfielders reacted like it was gone as the ball bounced back onto the field. The Elias Sports Bureau will make an official determination on Monday.
