Instant replay affirmed 1B Umpire Paul Schrieber's out call in the bottom of the 1st inning of the Padres-Diamondbacks game. With one out and one on, Diamondbacks batter Paul Goldschmidt hit a 1-2 pitch from Padres pitcher Eric Stults to first baseman Tommy Medica, who, after deflecting the ball, attempted to retire Goldschmidt by beating him to first base. Upon instant replay review as the result of a challenge by Diamondbacks Manager Kirk Gibson, Schrieber's ruling that Medica tagged first base prior to Goldschmidt's touch arrival was upheld, the call was correct. At the time of the instant replay review, the Padres were leading, 1-0. The contest ultimately ended in a tie, 2-2, in 10 innings.
