Controversial Call in ALDS Game 1 Boosts Yankees Over Royals

A disputed stolen base by Jazz Chisholm Jr. helped the Yankees secure a 6-5 victory against the Royals in the series opener.

Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s steal in the seventh inning was pivotal, as it led to the Yankees scoring the go-ahead run in their ALDS Game 1 win over the Royals.
The Royals challenged the safe call at second base, believing Chisholm was tagged out, but the replay review upheld the on-field decision due to inconclusive evidence.
The call's controversy centered on whether Chisholm's foot was tagged before reaching the base, with multiple angles failing to provide a definitive answer.
Alex Verdugo's subsequent single drove in Chisholm, giving the Yankees a lead they maintained through the final innings.
The Royals expressed frustration over the decision but acknowledged missed opportunities contributed to their loss.
