The New York Yankees' World Series drought ended on Wednesday when the Tampa Bay Rays swept them in Game 3 of the ALDS. The Yankees' season ended on an unusual fan interference call in the bottom of the sixth inning that cost them the potential game-tying run. Anthony Volpe stepped up to bat with two outs, and his bunt to left field was initially called a home run but was later overturned by the umpires after a fan caught the ball.
The runner on first scored, marking the end of the game, with the Rays winning 4-3. The Yankees scored only five total runs in the series, and the fan interference call could have had a significant impact on the outcome. The Rays advanced to the ALCS, while the Yankees returned home for the winter.
