Out or safe? You make the call on play at the plate involving Royals' Mike Moustakas | The Kansas City Star

Whew, this was a close play.

In the bottom of the fifth inning of the Royals' 8-3 loss to the Yankees on Saturday night at Kauffman Stadium, Mike Moustakas tried to score from first on a double by Royals catcher Salvador Perez.

However, the relay throw from Yankees shortstop Ronald Torreyes to catcher Gary Sanchez was a good one, and Moustakas was ruled out.

The Royals challenged the call, and fans at Kauffman Stadium who had seen the replay cheered, thinking Moustakas would be ruled safe.
