Jazz Chisholm Jr, who has been the subject of boos from Royals fans for his comments calling the team “just lucky”, accused Maikel Garcia of trying to intentionally hurt infielder Anthony Volpe on a slide into second in Game 4 of the ALDS, calling him a “sore loser.”

In the sixth inning of Thursday’s content, with Garcia on first, Michael Massey hit a grounder to first. Jon Berti fielded it, stepped on the bag for the out, then threw to second to get Garcia running to second. Volpe applied a hard tag, then patted Garcia on the back after the play was over.
