Notes & reviews
- replay,6,salat001,CHA,culbf901,CHI12,,N,M,KCA,R $it looked like Jarrod Dyson might catch Tyler Saladino's fly to CF; when Saladino was ruled not to have passed Avisail Garcia on the base path, Royals manager Ned Yost challenged the ruling; the call was upheld by replay since the runners crossed after the ball was dead
