TORONTO
The replay call that went against the Royals in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series, when Alex Rios came off the bag on a stolen-base attempt, had Royals fans grumbling and some asking if such calls were in the spirit of replay.
To reset: With two outs in the fourth and the Royals leading 5-2, Rios had singled and he took off for second on the first pitch to the next batter, Alcides Escobar.
Rios and the throw from Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin arrived at about the same time, but the throw was high.
