Pirates' Brandon Lowe ejected after ABS challenge was disallowed, leading to fly out

The Automated Balls and Strikes (ABS) system has provided its own set of challenges during the 2026 season, but players and managers alike have learned, that in baseball, it is the truth – as long as the umpire can see that a challenge has been made.

Two-time All-Star Brandon Lowe learned the hard way during the Pittsburgh Pirates' 10-9 win over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday. He flied out in the fourth inning and was ejected.

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD.
