rockiesRockies were first on the scoreboard in Saturday night’s game vs. the Phillies, thanks to a crew chief review on a close play at the plate.

In the bottom of the third, Nolan Arenado led off the inning and extended his hitting streak to match a career-high 10 games with a single to center.

The next batter, DJ LeMahieu, singled to left and Arenado came around from first attempting to score on the play. Left fielder Domonic Brown fired to second baseman Chase Utley who made a pinpoint throw to catcher Carlos Ruiz for a bang-bang play as Arenado slid and hooked his left leg in between Ruiz’s legs as the catcher turned to make the tag.

Home plate umpire Tim Welke called Arenado out, and Arendao immediately popped up to protest. Replays available in the stadium were not conclusive on the close play, with differing angles suggesting different outcomes.
