Look: Replay shows close call at first base in Game 6
FOX Sports MLB / Twitter
That is how close Francisco Lindor was to being safe at first base, potentially extending the seventh inning for the Cleveland Indians, with the team trailing 7-2.
Initially ruled safe on the play, Lindor was barely edged out by Chicago Cubs closer Aroldis Chapman, who hustled over from the mound to cover first base. Immediately after, manager Joe Maddon challenged the call with a replay showing just how close it was. Lindor was subsequently ruled out, ending the inning.
After entering the game with two outs, Chapman came up limping after the close play at first base. He returned to the game, however, to pitch the eighth inning.
