Top: Gerrit Cole (left) was in cruise control on the mound for the New York Yankees on Saturday until a non-strike call turned the game around. With the Yankees leading 1-0 and the Tampa Bay Rays having two out and the bases empty in the bottom of the 6th inning, Cole walked Ji-Man Choi on a 3-2 pitch he thought was a strike. Two batters later, Choi scored on an RBI single, and the Rays added runs in the 7th and 8th innings to hand the Yankees a 3-1 loss at Tropicana Field. Photos by USA Today

The Rangers led 2-0 after one period and were never threatened from that point. The result forces a Game 7 on Monday in Carolina, with the Tampa Bay Lightning awaiting the winner. Photo by USA Today
