History Made in Boston with Four Replays at Four Bases

The first instant replay cycle in MLB history occurred Monday night at Fenway Park as four plays—one at each base, by each of the four umpires—were reviewed during the same game. The first replay review cycle in MLB history produced two confirmed and two overturned calls. The Rays and Red Sox had one confirmed and one overturned call apiece.

HP: In the top of the 1st inning, Boston Manager Torey Lovullo challenged HP Umpire John Tumpane's safe call as Rays baserunner Mikie Mahtook slid into home plate. Upon review, the call was confirmed. VIDEO

1B: In the top of the 1st inning, Tampa Bay Manager Kevin Cash challenged 1B Umpire James Hoye's out call on the backend of an attempted Red Sox double play. Upon review, the call was overturned. VIDEO

2B: In the top of the 7th inning, umpires initiated a Crew Chief review of 2B Umpire Bill Welke's safe call on Rays baserunner R1 Brandon Guyer's attempted steal of second base. Upon review, the call was overturned. VIDEO

3B: In the bottom of the 8th inning, Tampa Bay challenged 3B Umpire John Hirschbeck's safe call on Red Sox baserunner R2 Deven Marrero's steal of third base. Upon review, the call was confirmed. VIDEO
