MLB Instant Replay Review 114: Mike Winters (03)

Instant Replay Review confirmed HP Umpire Mike Winters' ball (record keeping, count) call in the top of the 8th inning of the Astros-Athletics game. With two out and none on, Astros batter Jesus Guzman took a 0-2 fastball from A's pitcher Scott Kazmir for a called first ball.
