After building a 10 – 2 lead at Yankee Stadium, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays lose to the Bronx Bombers, 20 – 11, making it the second time in franchise history the team is ahead by eight or more runs and loses by nine or more tallies. No other club in history has ever achieved this dubious distinction as the D-Rays, with their 1999 defeat to the Indians, now have accomplished the feat twice. Also, by giving up 13 runs in the bottom of the second inning, the Devil Rays become the first team in history to yield that many tallies in one inning twice during the same season. The benefactors each time are the Yankees, as the visiting Tampa Bay hurlers also had a 13-run meltdown in April.

9/1/2007 – Toronto had two different lineups, one posted in the clubhouse and one handed to the umpires. The latter, which is the one that counts, showed Aaron Hill batting sixth, Lyle Overbay batting seventh, Gregg Zaun eighth and John McDonald ninth. Overbay batted in Hill’s spot in the second inning and made an out. Then Hill doubled but the Mariners pointed out the mistake. Here is where is got interesting. The umpires huddled and then called Hill out for batting out of order. Then Zaun was allowed to bat. The correct call would be that the proper batter (Zaun) should have been declared out and then the hitter after him (McDonald) would be the next batter. Thus, in this case, Hill should have been skipped entirely. The concept of skipping someone in the lineup is difficult for people to grasp but is the correct sequence here.
