Ump says he missed call in Pirates' loss

Major League Baseball and umpire Jerry Meals agree Meals made the wrong call in Atlanta's 4-3, 19-inning win over Pittsburgh early Wednesday morning. Meals ruled Pittsburgh catcher Mike McKenry failed to tag Atlanta's Julio Lugo in the bottom of the 19th, allowing Lugo to score the winning run. Replays showed McKenry clearly tagging Lugo well before Lugo got to the plate. The Pirates filed a formal complaint hours after the longest game in team history, and MLB executive vice president for baseball operations Joe Torre said it appeared Meals missed the call. Later Wednesday, Meals said he saw in his review of the play that Lugo's pants moved slightly when tagged. Meals said that review showed him ''I was incorrect in my decision'' and Lugo should have been out.
