With the Rockies and Diamondbacks scoreless in the bottom of the tenth inning, A.J. Pollock hits a one-out, pinch-hit, single. David Peralta appears to single him to third, but after the umpires huddle, Pollock is called out on obstruction of Rockies second baseman D.J. LeMahieu. It is a judgement call and cannot be reviewed, but the replay shown on the Arizona broadcast showed LeMahieu initiating the contact when he was not near the ball. In other words, it looks like LeMahieu knew he couldn’t get the ball, and pulled the equivalent of an NBA flop. The Diamondbacks don’t score in the inning and the teams go to 11.
