Close Play at the Plate

Andrew Toles delivers a single with men on first and second and two out in the bottom of the second inning. Adrian Gonzalez is called out at home, but the replay appears to show Gonzalez is safe. The play is under review.

Jason Heyward made a bad throw to the plate. He threw the ball too high, and Wilson Contreas had to come up the line a bit. That made it hard for him to get back. Maybe the worst LCS throw since Barry Bonds failed to throw out Sid Bream.

Replay upholds the out call. I suspect Contreas might have gotten Gonzalez with a string of his glove.
