In one of the weirdest plays you'll see, the Yankees were initially the victims of a bad call, but thanks to risky baserunning, they took advantage.
Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. is tagged out at second base by New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe while trying to stretch a bunt single into a double during the fourth inning at Yankee Stadium.

Cole throws 100 mph. Cole saw Witt taking off for second and fired a fastball, gunning him out, shortstop Anthony Volpe making the tag.
The call also was not reviewable. Fair/foul calls are only reviewed on balls that land at or beyond a base.which included Domingo German's perfect game.
