The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees 2-1 on Saturday.

The Yankees loaded the bases against Kenley Jansen with one out in the ninth inning, but were unable to score the tying run.

There was, however, some controversy. With runners on first and second and one out, Gio Urshela hit what looked like a potential game-ending 5-4-3 double play ball, but Brett Gardner broke it up with a slide into second base. The slide was clean -- Gardner slid right into the bag -- and, in fact, replays showed Gardner was safe because he beat the throw.

Gleyber Torres, the runner at second base to begin the play, scampered home from third to score the tying run.

However, replays showed Gardner beat the throw to second base, and Torres was sent back to third base because home plate umpire Gabe Morales called time. Replays showed Morales called time when Torres a little less than halfway to home plate.

The play at second base is not in question. Replays make it clear Gardner not only slid directly into the bag, thus satisfying the second base collision safety rules, but that he also beat the throw and was safe on the play. The controversial play is Morales granting time as Torres was heading home.
