SEATTLE -- The New York Yankees won all five of their challenges utilizing the automated ball-strike system during Monday night's 2-1 loss to the Seattle Mariners.
It started in the bottom of the second inning when Jose Caballero correctly challenged that two called strikes by plate umpire Mike Estabrook were balls, including a 3-2 pitch from Mariners starter Luis Castillo. Caballero tapped his helmet to ask for a challenge as he took his left shin guard off.
Giancarlo Stanton also successfully challenged that a 1-2 slider by Castillo was below the strike zone and then reached on a single. One batter later, Jazz Chisholm Jr. challenged that a first-pitch slider by Castillo was out of the zone, though he later struck out.
After that at-bat, Estabrook and New York manager Aaron Boone had a verbal exchange, with Boone remaining in the dugout.
The Yankees ultimately lost on a walk-off hit in the ninth inning by catcher Cal Raleigh.
They've now had an MLB-best 10 successful challenges this season and are 10-of-11 on challenges (second behind the Diamondbacks, who are 3-for-3).
