In a game of inches, things broke the Mets' way in the top of the eighth inning.

But on further view, it might have been a call from the umpires that actually might've helped the Amazin's out in NLDS Game 4.

With two outs and a runner on first base, Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm ripped a hard ground ball down the first base line and out of the reach of Pete Alonso, which would have at least put runners on the corners.

With the Mets clinging to a 4-1 lead, it would have brought the tying run the the plate.

But first base umpire Carlos Torres called the ball foul, which led to a protest from first base coach Paco Figueroa, to no avail.

Per MLB rules, boundary plays on the infield such as this one cannot be reviewed by instant replay.

The Mets, given another life to get Bohm out did just that, as David Peterson induced a ground out to short to end the frame.
