KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Major League Baseball has apologized to the Kansas City Royals for a breakdown in its replay process during a crucial moment in a 2-1 loss to the Cleveland Indians.
The issue occurred in the eighth inning of a tied game Tuesday night, when first base umpire Bob Davidson ruled the Indians’ Jose Ramirez had beaten out a relay throw to prevent a double play. Replays showed Ramirez was out, but the call stood after a nearly 3-minute review.
The Indians wound up scoring the go-ahead run later in the inning.
MLB said Wednesday that the ”super slow motion view” was delayed in getting to the replay crew in New York, so umpires there had to render a decision without that information.
