Blue Jays infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa explained the questionable lead he took before being thrown out at home plate that cost the team in Game 7 of the World Series.
To beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in the playoffs, you can’t make any mistakes.
The Toronto Blue Jays found that out Saturday night, when they lost Game 7 by the closest of margins, due in part to Isiah Kiner-Falefa not scoring in the bottom of the ninth.
The ex-Yankee was nearly a World Series hero. Instead, Kiner-Falefa’s questionable lead at third base may have cost the Toronto Blue Jays a title against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Kiner-Falefa, who pinch-ran for Bo Bichette in a tie game in the ninth, moved to third with one out when Toronto loaded the bases on a walk and a hit-by-pitch.
