Claim 1: “the balk called during Thursday’s loss to the Angels was the right one.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
No evidence was found in the provided search results regarding a balk called during a game against the Angels on Thursday.

Claim 2: “David Bednar picked up his sixth save of the season in a 4-2 win over Kansas City on Friday in The Bronx.”
DISPUTED
The claim states David Bednar recorded a save in a Yankees win over Kansas City. However, evidence shows Bednar is a pitcher for the Pirates (MLB.com) or was pitching for the Brewers in a game against the Yankees (AOL), and the specific save mentioned in the claim is not supported by the provided evidence which instead shows him securing a win for the Pirates over the Tigers.
