NextImg:Umpire’s disputable foul call on Gleyber Torres flare thwarts a Yankees chance

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Yankees seemingly missed out on a great chance to take the lead in Game 3 of the ALDS against the Royals, as Gleyber Torres’ flare down the right field line was ruled foul by right field umpire Ryan Blakney.

The call was reviewed, but not overturned, despite one replay angle showing the chalk of the foul line possibly being hit.

The play occurred with Oswaldo Cabrera at first and two out against Seth Lugo at Kauffman Stadium.

The speedy Cabrera almost certainly would have scored on the play, but the replay official did not see an angle that definitively showed the ball hitting the line.

The game remained scoreless and Torres flied out to the warning track in right to end the inning.

The Yankees later scratched out a run in the fourth inning to take a 1-0 lead thanks to Giancarlo’s RBI double that drove in Juan Soto.

In Game 1, the Yankees may have caught a break with the replay system, as Jazz Chisholm Jr. could have been called out on a stolen base attempt, but the safe call was upheld and Chisholm scored the go-ahead run on an Alex Verdugo single that proved to be the difference in the game.
