Dane Myers Hits Game-Winning Single in the 11th as the Reds Beat the Red Sox 6-5

On Saturday, the Boston Red Sox fell 6-5 to the Cincinnati Reds in 11 innings, a game marked by disputed umpiring and the team's early exhaustion of their ABS challenges.
Exhausting their ABS challenges by the third inning left the Red Sox without recourse for disputed calls, a shortage that proved costly when home-plate umpire CB Bucknor made several contentious strike decisions against Red Sox hitters.
Frustrations boiled over in the eighth inning when Bucknor deemed a checked swing by Trevor Story a strike, triggering an eruption from the shortstop and leading to the ejection of both Story and manager Alex Cora.
In the 11th inning, Justin Slaten surrendered a game-ending RBI single to Dane Myers, sealing the defeat as the Red Sox struck out three times in five at-bats against reliever Connor Phillips.
Meanwhile, Sonny Gray's debut on the mound proved adventurous, as the pitcher allowed four runs over four innings during a game that underscored early-season tensions surrounding the ABS system.
