Braves ABS challenge leads to eight runs in wild turn of events
New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- The Braves' 17-2 victory over the Diamondbacks was significantly influenced by Automated Balls and Strikes (ABS), notably when Ozzie Albies successfully challenged a pitch that led to a walk and an eight-run inning for Atlanta.
- Albies' challenge overturned a strike call on a pitch that was 1.1 inches outside the strike zone, demonstrating ABS's impact on the game's outcome.
- Diamondbacks pitcher Ryne Nelson struggled in the fifth inning, compounded by an error from Nolan Arenado that prevented a double play and allowed unearned runs to score.
- Diamondbacks manager Tony Lovullo acknowledged the team's challenge in maintaining composure, suggesting the overturned strikeout call may have affected Nelson's mental state during the inning.
