The comeback Cubs had their chance to end the game two batters before Ross. With outfielder Dexter Fowler at second base, first baseman Anthony Rizzo hit a single to left field.

Royals left fielder Alex Gordon made a perfect throw to get Fowler out at home. The play was so close, the umpires had to review the play.

Another vine of that play at the plate by #Royals catcher Sal Perez. What a throw by Gordon too. https://t.co/3tv9cQx4kH

The umpires couldn’t find any conclusive evidence to overturn the call, but in the end, it didn’t matter. The Cubs snapped a two-game losing streak with a 2-1 win over the Royals.
