Why Jays Challenged Out-of-Play Call vs Seattle Mariners
A bizarre play occurred in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series, leading to a three-run fifth inning for the Seattle Mariners.
The play began with Randy Arozarena grounding an infield single to Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Andrés Giménez, who made a spinning attempt to throw out Arozarena at first. The throw sailed wide of the first-base bag and hit Mariners slugger Eugenio Suárez, who was sitting on the top step of the dugout.
The ball was initially ruled out of play, which allowed Arozarena to advance to second.
This incident led to the Blue Jays challenging the out-of-play call.
