“Ben Rice leadoff for the pinstripes and popped out. Aaron Judge went on to strike out and after a big foul ball, Cody Bellinger grounded out.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The claim describes a specific sequence of outs (Rice pop out, Judge strike out, Bellinger ground out).

The specific sequence provided in the claim is not supported and is contradicted by the play-by-play evidence found in the search results for that game.
