"High fly ball, towering and deep to right, Alvarezzzzzzzzz ... lost it?"

That won't go down as one of the all-time great home run calls, but it described a surreal moment in Thursday night's Orioles-Rays game at Tampa.

Tampa Bay's John Jaso homered in the third inning, a drive that landed on the C-ring catwalk above right field and never came down. Baltimore right fielder Daniel Alvarez could only point to the roof.

It was the fifth home run at Tropicana Field that did not come down, the first since Boston's David Ortiz hit one on Sept. 17, 2008.

Check it out in the video above.
