The Philadelphia Phillies caught a break early in their game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday.
The Phillies scored to take a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning on an RBI single by Jorge Alfaro. However, replays showed that Maikel Franco never actually touched home plate.

The Dodgers missed an opportunity and did not challenge as they should have. They later tied things up in the fifth.
Clayton Kershaw should be especially upset about the missed opportunity to challenge. The score was 1-1 when he left the game instead of 1-0, which took away his chance to get credit for a win.
