Expanded Instant Replay Used for First Time in Regular Season Play

As NBC Sports reports, proving the umpire wrong took all of 58 seconds.

The first busy day of play in the 2014 Major League Baseball season was underway Monday and in Pittsburgh, Cubs manager Rick Renteria was the first skipper to challenge a play under the new expanded replay system.

After review, which took about two minutes, the decision by the umpires was upheld.

The first call overturned came in Milwaukee as a challenge by the Braves on a force play was upheld.
