Whether it was due to a slip or just a brief mental lapse, Jazz Chisholm completely blew a successful challenge on Tuesday night.
Chisholm, in the eighth inning of the New York Yankees’ 4-1 win over the Seattle Mariners, drew a walk after successfully challenging what was initially called the third strike while he was up to bat. The ball was clearly outside of the strike zone after a review, so the Yankees star made his way over to first.
But immediately, Chisholm stumbled. He was caught way too far off the bag, and was easily tagged out by the Mariners in a half-hearted pickle. Just watch:

Not great.
Now, it didn’t cost the Yankees the game by any means. They were up by three at the time, thanks to a four-run inning in the previous frame powered by RBI singles from Ryan McMahon and Trent Grisham. Because of that, it’s likely to cause far less stir than the lollipop scandal he found himself in back in June .
But still, it was a rough moment for Chisholm. The 28-year-old entered the night with a .216 batting average, which is his worst since his rookie season with the Miami Marlins back in 2020, with 17 home runs and 47 RBI on the year. He had a hit and scored in the win on Tuesday night, too.
The win pushed the Yankees to 67-52 on the season. They currently sit in second in the NL East race, just a handful of games back from the Tampa Bay Rays, and hold a safe lead in the AL wild card race.
While they seem well on their way to making a third straight postseason appearance, and the divisional title isn’t out of play, lapses like the one Chisholm made on Tuesday night will only become costlier as the season wraps up.
