Overview
- The Reds beat the Red Sox 6-5 in 11 innings on Saturday on Dane Myers' walk-off single for Cincinnati's first win of 2026.
- Home plate umpire C.B. Bucknor had six ball-strike calls overturned by MLB’s new automated review, and a check-swing strikeout without an appeal led to Alex Cora’s ejection.
- Wilyer Abreu kept Boston alive with a two-out, ninth-inning homer, but the Red Sox had already burned through their ABS challenges and finished with 15 strikeouts.
- In New York, Luis Robert Jr. ended his second game as a Met with a three-run homer in the 11th to top the Pirates 4-2 after David Peterson and Mitch Keller traded scoreless outings.
- Teams are leaning into the system as the Yankees flipped multiple calls during a sweep in San Francisco, matching early league data showing more than half of challenges are being upheld.
