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.
