Major League Baseball's new "Chase Utley rule" loomed large in the Tampa Bay Rays' win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night.

With the bases loaded and one out in the ninth inning, Edwin Encarnacion hit a grounder to third. After taking a throw from Evan Longoria for the force at second, Logan Forsythe made an errant relay to first that appeared to allow the go-ahead run to score for the Blue Jays.

Kevin Cash asked for a replay review, claiming Jose Bautista violated the so-called "Utley rule" governing slides on potential double plays.

Replay umpires in New York ruled Bautista's slide was not directly into the bag and that it illegally hindered Forsythe. The call was changed to a game-ending double play that preserved Tampa Bay's victory.

"It turned the game into a joke," John Gibbons said. "That's flat embarrassing. That cost us a chance to win a major league game."
