Gleyber Torres thought he crossed the plate as the tying run in the ninth inning on Saturday. Instead, an umpire ruling sent the New York Yankees infielder back to third to stew as his team lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Unsurprisingly, Torres’s emotions boiled over after the game:
“I think [the umpires] need to do a little [better] job,” he told the New York Post’s Ken Davidoff. “… I don’t know what’s wrong with the umpires today.”
A Gio Urshela grounder to third with Torres on second and Brett Gardner on first started the confusion.
