MLB Instant Replay Review 029, 031: Dana DeMuth (01, 02)

Instant Replay Review overturned 1B Umpire Dana DeMuth's out call in the top of the 3rd and confirmed 1B Umpire DeMuth's out call in the top of the 8th inning of the Yankees-Blue Jays game. In the 3rd, with two out and one on, Yankees batter Ichiro Suzuki hit a 3-2 slider from Blue Jays pitcher Dustin McGowan on the ground to second baseman Ryan Goins who threw to first baseman Edwin Encarnacion as Ichiro arrived at first base. Upon Instant Replay Review as the result of a challenge by Yankees Manager Joe Girardi, DeMuth's ruling that Encarnacion caught the ball and tagged first base prior to Ichiro's touch arrival was reversed, the call was incorrect. At the time of the ejection, the Blue Jays were leading, 3-2.

In the 8th, with none out and one on, Yankees batter Jacoby Ellsbury hit a 1-0 pitch from Blue Jays pitcher Steve Delabar back off of Delabar, who threw to Encarnacion as Ellsbury arrived at first base. Upon Instant Replay Review as the result of a challenge by Yankees Manager Girardi, DeMuth's ruling that Encarnacion caught the ball and kept his foot on first base while in possession was affirmed, the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Yankees were leading, 5-3. The Yankees ultimately won the contest, 7-3.
