Suárez Uses ABS to Correct Back-to-Back Umpire Calls

Eugenio Suárez utilized the new ABS challenge system to correct back-to-back erroneous strike three calls from home plate umpire C.B. Bucknor during Saturday's matchup against the Boston Red Sox. With a 1-2 count and two outs, Suárez challenged two pitches that were incorrectly called strikes, resulting in both calls being overturned by the automated ball-strike technology.

The Reds went on to win the game 5-3 despite Suárez eventually grounding out to shortstop. Bucknor had six of his calls overturned via ABS challenges during the game. Red Sox manager Alex Cora was ejected after arguing a check swing call that Bucknor failed to appeal to the first base umpire.
