CLEVELAND -- By the time Francisco Lindor saw Yankees third baseman Chase Headley, it was too late. They collided in the infield, spun around together and Headley tumbled to the dirt. In that moment, an Indians rally dissolved due to a critical interference call in the ninth inning.
"I messed up," Lindor said after Cleveland's 7-6, 11-inning loss on Saturday.
Lindor didn't see the replay of the collision in question, and the Tribe's talented All-Star shortstop said he has no plans of reviewing it, either. He knows what happened, and he discussed it with third-base umpire Tom Hallion, who made the call that slammed the brakes on what had the look of a walk-off win in the making.
