MLB Instant Replays 010, 011: Chris Conroy (01, 02)

Instant Replay Review overturned 1B Umpire Chris Conroy's out call in the bottom of the 6th and safe call in the top of the 10th inning of the Royals-Tigers game. In the 6th, with none out and two on, Tigers batter Tyler Collins hit a 1-1 curveball from Royals pitcher Jason Vargas on the ground to second baseman Omar Infante, who threw to shortstop Alcides Escobar to first baseman Eric Hosmer as Collins arrived at first base, Tigers baserunner R1 Ian Kinsler out at second. Upon instant replay review as the result of a challenge by Tigers Manager Brad Ausmus, Conroy's ruling that the Hosmer caught and tagged first base prior to Collins' touch arrival was reversed, the call was incorrect. At the time of the review, the Tigers were leading, 1-0.

In the 10th, with two out and one on, Royals batter Nori Aoki hit a 0-2 slider from Tigers pitcher Al Alburquerque on the ground back to Alburquerque, who threw to first baseman Miguel Cabrera as Aoki arrived at first base. Upon Instant Replay Review as the result of a challenge by Tigers Manager Ausmus, Conroy's ruling that Cabrera did not catch and tag first base prior to Aoki's touch arrival was reversed, the call was incorrect. At the time of the review, the contest was tied, 1-1. The Tigers ultimately won the contest, 2-1, in 10 innings.
