Hitting and Missing

In the bottom of the fifth, Carlos Pena comes up with two out and a man on second, facing Jeremy Sowers. On a 3-2 count, Sal Fasano sets up outside. Sowers throws the ball, instead, over the inside corner. Fasano moves his gloves all the way across the plate to catch it, and the ump calls it ball four. It was clearly a strike on the inside corner. The ump gets fooled by the glove movement, and Evan Longoria follows with an RBI single. The Indians lead 5-4 at the end of five instead of 5-3.
