Instant Replay Review upheld HP Umpire Mark Wegner's safe call in the bottom of the 2nd inning of Game 1 and overturned 2B Umpire Gabe Morales' out call in the top of the 6th inning of Game 2 of the Indians-Athletics doubleheader. In Game 1, with one out and two on, Athletics batter Josh Donaldson hit a 1-0 slider from Indians pitcher Corey Kluber on the ground to third baseman Carlos Santana, who threw to catcher Yan Gomes as Athletics baserunner R3 Derek Norris arrived at home plate. Upon Instant Replay Review as the result of a challenge from Athletics Manager Bob Melvin, Wegner's ruling that Gomes tagged Norris while he was off his base was affirmed, the call was correct. At the time of the review, the Athletics were leading, 2-0. The Athletics ultimately won the contest, 6-1.
In Game 2, with one out and one on, Indians baserunner R1 Mike Aviles attempted to steal second base with Elliot Johnson batting, the throw from Athletics catcher John Jaso to second baseman Nick Punto arriving with Aviles at second base. Upon instant replay review as the result of a challenge by Indians Manager Terry Francona, Morales' ruling that Punto tagged Aviles prior to Aviles' touch of second base was reversed, the call was incorrect. At the time of the review, the Athletics were leading, 3-2. The Indians ultimately won the contest, 6-4.
