You gotta be freaking kidding me. That was a HORRIBLE call on the running lane interference. When the ball was thrown, Cano was running on the foul line. His last three steps, before he hit first, were all on the line and the ball got to first about the same time he did, maybe a fraction earlier.
I am a Yankee fan, but this call in no way caused them to lose. The Yankees couldn't pitch, and couldn't hit with runners in scoring position.
But I went back and replayed (on Tivo) the play numerous times and Cano was running on the line. Granted he was just touching, but he was on the line. West called a great game, but was 10 or 15 feet off the line in foul territory and didn't have the best angle on this play. I am surprised that West bailed out the defense on this play.
I didn't affect the game, but I thought it was a bad call.
