A's Challenge ABS Malfunction After Strike Call Stands vs. Yankees

Oakland is asking MLB for answers after the automated ball-strike replay system confirmed a pitch the A's believe was clearly out of the zone.

During Saturday's Athletics-Yankees game, a pitch the A's believed was out of the strike zone was upheld as a strike following an ABS replay review. Oakland has since sought clarification from MLB about the malfunction or error in the system. The incident raises questions about the reliability of the automated ball-strike technology being used. No immediate ruling or correction from MLB has been reported.
