The Boston Red Sox hosted the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday at Fenway Park for a doubleheader.
While 18 innings of baseball could potentially get drawn out and boring to some, legendary Red Sox radio broadcaster inadvertently made sure that wasn't the case.
Castiglione was talking about Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri, when his iPhone decided to go off in the booth. The word "Siri" triggered the "Hey Siri" function on the phone, causing Castiglione to laugh and be thrown for a loop.

That's a great way to breathe more momentum into a long day, Joe! It isn't the first time that Castiglione has been part of memorable, funny moments. After the Red Sox won the 2018 ALCS against the Astros, Castiglione fell out of his chair following a great Andrew Benintendi catch.
Castiglione was inducted into the Red Sox Hall of Fame in 2014 and has been the voice of the Red Sox for more than 40 years.
As for the games, the Red Sox and Rays split the doubleheader. The Red Sox won the early game thanks to Justin Turner heroics, while the Rays took game two, 4-2, thanks to some ninth-inning runs off of Sox closer Kenley Jansen.
The two teams will play on Sunday afternoon at 1:35 before playing a makeup game on Monday. That game begins at 4:05 p.m. ET.
In the Sunday game, Rays rookie Taj Bradley will pitch against righty Tanner Houck.
