3/11 12:00 PM Isiah Kiner-Falefa (SS/3B-BOS) MLB report settles World Series Game 7 plate drama: IKF was out by feet, not inches. The official report from MLB's replay review says a critical play in the Los Angeles Dodgers' wild Game 7 World Series win last year was determined by feet, not inches. Toronto's Isiah Kiner-Falefa was thrown out at home plate in the bottom of the ninth inning on a play that would have won it for the Blue Jays. Catcher Will Smith's foot briefly came off the plate while he caught the ball. Replays showed his foot reconnected with the plate while Kiner-Falefa was inches away. Fans lamented Kiner-Falefa's conservative lead off third base. But MLB's report says Smith's foot was on the plate when he initially caught the ball, while Kiner-Falefa still several feet away. Smith homered in the 11th inning and the Dodgers held on to win.
