The first game of the New York Yankees–Los Angeles Dodgers matchup in the World Series got off to a slow start Friday night, but it wasn’t without some early controversy.
MLB umpire Carlos Torres, who is working home plate in Game 1 at Dodger Stadium, got his World Series debut off to a questionable start, to say the least. In the first inning, Torres called a strike on Dodgers’ Jack Flaherty’s pitch to Yankees’ Jazz Chisholm Jr. even though the ball appeared well outside the strike zone.
