Colorado Rockies at Miami Marlins

The Miami Marlins edged the Colorado Rockies 4-3 at loanDepot park in a game marked by precise use of ABS challenges that subtly influenced momentum but did not decisively alter the outcome. Miami’s three challenges resulted in one overturned call and two confirmations, underscoring the nuanced role of review rather than wholesale reversal of umpiring decisions. The sole overturned call came early in the bottom of the second inning, when Liam Hicks’s called strike was reversed from strike one to ball one, an adjustment that slightly shifted the hitter’s count but did not ultimately sway a run.

The Marlins were most active with challenges in innings two, five, and eight, reflecting a patient use of technology throughout the game’s middle and late stages. Notably, the bottom eight challenge on Graham Pauley was confirmed after review without a specific pitch event being tracked, signaling an ABS application focused more on situational verification than pitch-by-pitch adjudication. The bottom five challenge involving Liam Hicks also upheld the call, reinforcing the strength of the umpire's zone judgment during that phase of the game.
