Episode Details

In a thrilling match between the Boston Red Sox and Cincinnati Reds, umpire C.B. Bucknor clashed with the Automated Ball-Strike system. Despite the Reds six-to-five victory in eleven innings, ABS took center stage, overturning six of Bucknors eight challenged calls. Reds hitters Eugenio Suarez and Will Benson successfully challenged back-to-back third-strike decisions, keeping innings alive. The Red Sox, however, struggled with their challenges and lost their manager, Alex Cora, after he was ejected for arguing a poor angle from another umpire. Young outfielder Roman Anthony admitted to needing better challenge timing. Bucknor, a veteran umpire since 1996, had an off day, and the series concludes on Sunday at 1:40 p.m. Eastern in Cincinnati, where tensions may rise or lessons may be learned.
