NEW YORK — Fans in the stands grew increasingly restless as the review dragged on. The angle from behind the plate played on the giant Citi Field video board, and Mets fans erupted in cheers. Then the next angle, from the first baseline, sent Cubs fans into an excited frenzy.
Cubs left fielder Ian Happ had caught a fly ball and fired to third baseman Nick Madrigal, who relayed it home to catcher Miguel Amaya, who tagged Mets base runner Pete Alonso for what was called a game-ending double play. But the Cubs’ 1-0 victory was on hold until the Replay Center finished looking over the relevant angles.
