Brewers Replay Review Overturns Bucknor's First Base Call

During the sixth inning of the Brewers’ 3-2 win over the Reds, first‑base umpire C.B. Bucknor ruled Jake Bauers out for missing first base. A replay review showed Bauers’ foot was on the bag, and the call was reversed.

Bucknor, 63, has umpired since 1996 and was recently highlighted by the new automated ball‑strike challenge system, which overturned six of his calls in a March 28 game. The incident underscores how technology is reshaping umpiring.
