Jorge Polanco hit a hard line drive to the right field corner in the first inning on Saturday afternoon and thought it had cleared the wall near the foul pole.
It didn't.
Polanco was tagged out at second base to end the inning, with Kansas City right fielder Nick Pratto getting the ball to shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. It was aa costly gaffe in the Twins' 3-2 loss.
Umpires reviewed the video, which showed that the ball was not a home run. The drive was similar to a three-run homer that Polanco hit during the Twins' 8-6 victory over the Royals on Friday.
After starting the season on the injured list, Polanco has been an important part of the Twins offense — batting .367 with two home runs through his first seven games.
In the seventh inning, Byron Buxton gave the Twins a 2-1 lead with a home run that was ruled in play before an umpire's review reversed the call in Minnesota's favor.
