The Phillies were leading the Dodgers 2-0 in the fifth inning with two runners on when Trey Turner came up to bat. He quickly went down 0-2, then took a pitch way inside that allowed both runners to advance. That set up a key play: Turner hit a grounder up the middle, Didi Gregorius made the throw, and first baseman Brad Miller made a stretching grab. The ump called Turner out, but it was close, and the Dodgers challenged the play.
Replay showed Miller’s foot may have come off the bag right as he caught the ball. At full speed, it looked like he was off. Both team’s announcers were confused, thinking it should have been safe. But when broken down frame by frame, there’s a split second where the ball appears to be in the glove just as the foot is still on the bag. That one frame may have been enough for the replay officials to uphold the out call.
It’s one of those plays where the rulebook’s precision clashes with how things look in real time. Even though fans and broadcasters were baffled, the replay system supported the umpire’s original call. The Dodgers scratched across one run in the inning but grounded out afterward and couldn’t take full advantage.
