Overview

• In the fourth inning of Game 2, Javy Baez singled with the bases loaded as Cleveland challenged a close play at third.
• Replay officials ruled Jose Ramirez tagged Zach McKinstry before he reached the bag, overturning the on-field safe call.
• Because Dillon Dingler had not touched home before the third out, his run was taken off the board and the inning ended 1-1.
• MLB policy requires clear and convincing evidence to overturn, a threshold some analysts argued was not met by available angles.
• Commentators also criticized McKinstry’s baserunning and slide in a rare sequence that cut short a potential Detroit rally.
