After twice-reviewed call, Royals prevail 3-0 over Indians

Mike Moustakas glanced at the center-field scoreboard, which displayed the reality he had known all along: On a critical play in the seventh inning of a 3-0 Royals victory, Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor never tagged up.

Third-base umpire Mike Estabrook did not appear to notice. So as the umpiring crew completed their second replay review of the play, Moustakas watched the evidence and stomped off the field, pumping his fist as he departed. The noise at Kauffman Stadium rose as Moustakas got closer to the dugout.

His teammates followed, though the umpires herded the Royals (90-65) back onto the field while they sorted out the mess.
