Instant Replay Review confirmed 2B Umpire Kerwin Danley's safe call in the top of the 5th inning of the Orioles-Tigers game. With none out and one on, Orioles batter Nick Markakis hit a 1-2 slider from Tigers pitcher Drew Smyly on the ground to second baseman Ian Kinsler, who threw to shortstop Andrew Romine as Orioles baserunner R1 Steve Lombardozzi arrived at second base. Upon Instant Replay Review as the result of a challenge by Tigers Manager Brad Ausmus, Danley's ruling that Romine did not catch or possess the ball while in contact with second base was affirmed, the call was correct. At the time of the review, the Tigers were leading, 7-2. The Tigers ultimately won the contest, 10-4.
