DETROIT -- The first video review at Comerica Park this season overturned what was originally called a Brandon Inge home run Tuesday afternoon against the White Sox.

Inge pulled a Freddy Garcia pitch down the left-field line with one out and nobody out in the bottom of the sixth inning and the Tigers trailing, 4-2. Third-base umpire Dan Iassogna initially ruled it a home run, but White Sox left fielder Juan Pierre immediately disputed it, as did the rest of the club.

Crew chief Dale Scott led the umpires into the tunnel behind home plate at Comerica Park, where the replay monitor is located. Replays showed the ball cleared to the left of the foul pole without touching it, thus making it a foul ball.

Scott changed the ruling to a foul ball as the crowd of 28,155 at Comerica Park booed. Tigers manager Jim Leyland checked on the call, but didn't dispute it. Inge eventually popped out to first as Garcia proceeded to retire the Tigers in order.
