The New York Yankees took Game 1 of their ALDS series against the Kansas City Royals on Saturday night with a 6-5 win that was highlighted by a controversial call in the bottom of the seventh inning.<\/p>\n

Here are four takeaways from the Yankees win.<\/p>\n

1. Yankees get big break that swung the game<\/h3>\n

The big turning point in Game 1 came in the bottom of the seventh inning when the score was still tied, 5-5.<\/p>\n

Yankees first baseman Oswaldo Cabrera struck out on a 3-2 pitch with third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. on the move attempting to steal second. Royals catcher Salvador Perez attempted to throw out Chisholm, but he was ruled safe on an incredibly close play at second base.<\/p>\n

The Royals challenged, hoping the call would be overturned to end the inning.<\/p>\n

It was not overturned, though. As you can see on the replay below, it was the type of call that could have very easily gone either way. It was also one of those replays that was going to stay with the call on the field.<\/p>\n

Judge for yourself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
