    Adam Rosales thought he hit a game-tying home run. The Athletics, Indians and 14,000 or so fans thought so, too.

    There was a small group who differed: the umpires.

    "Probably the only four people in the ballpark," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said.

    Rosales' apparent homer with two outs in the ninth inning off Chris Perez was ruled a double by umpires -- even after a video review -- Wednesday night, giving Cleveland a 4-3 win over the Athletics, who left Progressive Field feeling robbed.
