It’s the top of the eighth and Kyle Seager is at the plate with one out and runners on first and second. The Mariners third baseman hits a ground ball to second base, Steve Pearce tags the bag to retire Nelson Cruz and fires a throw off the mark to first base.
Seager is safe, but he slips on the bag and falls while he appeared to round the bag. Chris Davis applies the tag, but the first base umpire calls Seager safe. Here’s the GIF:
Buck Showalter came out of the O’s dugout to chat with umpire John Hirschbeck about the call, but opted not to challenge.
