Immediately after the New York Yankees suffered what wound up being their only loss in the series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, manager Aaron Boone said the organization would explore the possibility of filing a protest with MLB.
Boone’s frustration stemmed from a sequence in the ninth inning that prevented the tying run from scoring on third base. With one out and runners on first and second, a grounder resulted in what was initially ruled a force out on a play that saw Brett Gardner take out Max Muncy with his slide into second base.
Gleyber Torres broke for home plate as Muncy writhed on the ground in pain, but was sent back to third.
