Maybe Isiah Kiner-Falefa thought he was called out.
But regardless of the reason, Kiner-Falefa popped up from his slide after stealing second base in the fifth inning — when he was called safe — and started heading back toward first base.It was a strange sequence in the fifth with the game tied at 1-1.
Kiner-Falefa had led off the inning against his former team with a single, lining a ball that third baseman Josh Jung couldn’t corral. Then, Kiner-Falefa turned what would’ve been his ninth stolen base of the season into his fourth time getting caught.Robert Sabo for NY Post After attempting to tag Kiner-Falefa on the slide, Semien even appeared frustrated at the safe call at second.But this wasn’t even Kiner-Falefa’s first miscue of the night.
In the fourth inning, when the Rangers had a runner on first with two outs against Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt, Kiner-Falefa made an error that cost the Yankees a run.
