Interference in the Yankees-Royals game?

Did anybody see the play just now when Gathright of the Royals hit a dribbler up the 1B line? Wong (Yankee pitcher) fielded it, and Gathright, who had been running in the lane, clearly moved left across the 1B line for the last couple of steps, and was either hit by Wong's throw or blocked the fielder's vision. (Couldn't tell for sure from the replay.)

I know the runner gets to be on the line for the last step, but Gathright was to the left of the line for at least 2 steps, and hit the inside edge of the bag. He also seemed to be lifting his arms more than usual as he ran those last couple of steps.

From what I saw on TV, I'd have called interference.
