During Monday’s game against the Giants, Khris Davis hit a home run off Tim Lincecum, but -- with both the home plate umpire and San Francisco catcher Andrew Susac watching his feet -- appeared to skip over home plate entirely without touching it. Whoops!
Khris Davis hit 3 home runs in 2 at-bats
Thanks, instant replay!

After discussion with Bruce Bochy, Davis was called out by the home plate umpire, but a lengthy video review determined that he did, in fact, hit a home run, seeing as it went into the stands and everything.
Later in the game, Davis hit ANOTHER home run, and made sure he touched home plate THIS time:
So, to recap: Khris Davis hit a home run, had it taken away, then reinstated, then hit another home run later. Three home runs in two at-bats! That’s technically accurate!
What do you think? Did he touch home plate on that first home run, or did he miss it?
