The colossal World Series controversy
With the Nationals clinging to a 3-2 lead and Yan Gomes on base, Washington’s Trea Turner hit a ball toward third base and appeared to beat a throw to first base by Astros pitcher Brad Peacock. Turner arrived at first base just as the throw did and collided with the glove of Houston first baseman Yuli Gurriel as the ball rolled away. Turner advanced to second, and Gomes to third with no outs. Turner was then called out for interfering with the throw, setting off heated debates.
The Nationals protested the call, and following a five-minute review the ruling stood. It was later explained that the interference call is not reviewable because it is a judgment call, and that the umpires were contacting the Major League offices during the delay to relay that the Nationals had lodged a protest to the game. In-between innings, Nationals manager Dave Martinez was ejected after a fierce argument.
