How the Royals dropped third game of key series against Guardians
Published in Baseball
However, to the naked eye, the baseball appeared to land in foul territory. This prompted the umpire crew to enact an replay review.
Multiple camera angles appeared to show that the baseball didn’t cross into the field of play. Still, the question remained whether the baseball made contact with the yellow foul pole.
Since it was difficult to tell whether the baseball did in fact make contact, the call on the field was upheld. There was not clear and conducive evidence to overturn the home run.
What’s next on the Royals’ schedule?
The Royals conclude their four-game series against the Guardians on Sunday afternoon at Kauffman Stadium.
Right-hander Seth Lugo will start in the series finale. He owns an MLB-leading 10 wins and looks to build off his last outing. Lugo pitched six scoreless innings against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday.
The Guardians will send southpaw pitcher Logan Allen to the mound. He is 8-3 with a 5.72 ERA this season.
