Notes & reviews
- Ben Zobrist called for interference on steal attempt causing out on runner as well as his strikeout
- replay,3,granc001,NYN,cedeg901,NYC20,,N,M,KCA,U $Alex Rios thought there were three outs and did not throw immediately; the Royals appealed the tag-up at 3B; when Wilmer Flores was called safe, Royals manager Ned Yost challenged the ruling; the call was uphelded by replay
