Provided the recent checkered history of the Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox, conspiracy concepts can quickly sprout from even one of the most innocuous circumstances.During Wednesday night's, umpires quit play prior to the beginning of the bottom of the fifth inning and also began pointing towards the outfield-- where a bright light could be seen coming via the outfield wall. Then in the video game, the Astros had a 1-0 lead as well as starter Framber Valdez had actually not permitted a solitary baserunner through the very first four innings.

After a slight delay, the light disappeared and also play resumed.

It seems that the light was coming from Fenway Park's Bleacher Bar, located behind the wall surface in facility field.

WFXT press reporter Wale Aliyu, who was covering the game from bench, said that one more terminal's lighting equipment-- pointing in the direction of the field from within the

bar-- was the perpetrator."There was something in the wall surface in facility area. It resembled a light or whatever. Somebody saw it in the dugout," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said after the game.

"It wasn't a large deal, but simply to allow them understand that existed. I don't understand if the player was able to see it, whatever."
