Mets' Francisco Alvarez makes first successful ABS challenge
New York Post • • general
Key Points:
- Francisco Alvarez helped Mets pitcher Freddy Peralta secure a win in his debut by successfully using the first regular-season ABS challenge to overturn a ball four call into a strikeout.
- The challenge prevented a two-run homer by Pirates' Brandon Lowe, resulting instead in a solo home run and preserving the Mets' lead.
- The Yankees also attempted an ABS challenge during their game, but their effort to overturn a call was unsuccessful.
- The Mets' broadcast provided fans with an immediate and clear view of the ABS review process, unlike the Netflix broadcast of the Giants game which missed showing the review entirely.
