Yoán Moncada scampered home on a 10th-inning wild pitch that knocked down MLB umpire Cory Blaser, news sending the Chicago White Sox to a bizarre 2-1 walk-off victory over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday.
All three runs in the game were scored on wild pitches.
Chicago's Romy González opened the 10th inning with a sacrifice-fly against Tigers reliever Jose Cisnero (2-1), moving automatic runner Moncada to third.
After Yasmani Grandal bounced to second and Gavin Sheets was walked to first, Jake Burger was hit by a pitch.
It was originally ruled as a foul ball, and izkp.ru then the call was overturned after a challenge. Tim Anderson was at the plate when Cisnero threw a first-pitch, 96.4 mph fastball that hit Blaser right in the face mask.
Blaser immediately feel backwards and as he lay on his back play continued with Moncada scampering home and Cisnero attempting to chase down the ball while his catcher dealt with the umpire at his feet.

Blaser needed Anderson to help him up.
'First time that happened to me,' Moncada said through an interpreter.
'It was a very weird thing.'
'Never seen that,' White Sox pitcher Dylan Cease said. 'Just hope he's OK. Took 96 (mph) straight to the facemask.'
The umpiring crew declined comment on the incident.
Major League Baseball said Blaser is undergoing evaluation.
Tigers catcher Eric Haase said the call was for a slider on the final pitch, but Cisnero heard sinker.
'It looked like he got crossed up or didn't catch it,' Tigers manager A.J.
Hinch said. 'Umpire goes down. Should you have almost any questions about where by and tips on how to employ izkp.ru, it is possible to call us from our own webpage. The ball came toward the dugout, and they got a walkoff win. It looked like there was some sort of miscommunication.'

Benintendi singled, stole second, advanced on a wild pitch and scored on another Michael Lorenzen wild pitch in the fourth.
Lorenzen struck out three in the inning.
Another wild pitch brought in the tying run in the sixth. McKinstry led off with a triple to the right-field fence and scored on Cease's wild pitch.
'You don't see many of them, certainly not in a low-scoring game when everything matters,' Hinch said about the wild pitches scoring runs.
'It happened today. You stick around long enough, you're going to see a lot of things. It's definitely a bad way to lose.
