Yankees Secure ALDS Game 3 Win Amid Controversy

In a closely contested Game 3 of the ALDS, the New York Yankees faced a controversial call when Gleyber Torres's hit, which could have been a key play, was ruled foul by umpire Ryan Blakney and upheld upon review. This decision cost the Yankees a potential lead as the game remained scoreless, with the Yankees eventually taking a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning. However, Giancarlo Stanton's eighth-inning home run secured a 3-2 victory for New York over the Kansas City Royals. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Royals pitcher Michael Wacha was hit by a foul ball in the neck during another game but was able to continue playing. In another postseason game, the Mets benefited from a non-reviewable foul ball call during their matchup against the Phillies, which helped them maintain their lead and ultimately secure a 4-1 victory, advancing them to the NLCS.
