The Royals were irked after a controversial safe call on a Jazz Chisholm steal attempt late in Game 1 did not get overturned.

KC lost a 6-5 slugfest at Yankee Stadium. Alex Verdugo hit a go-ahead RBI single in the seventh inning as New York took a 1-0 series lead. That followed a controversial call at second base in which the Yankees’ Jazz Chisholm, who scored the winning run, was called safe sliding into second and the play stood on a review.
