  2. 2Edgar Quero — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  3. 3Ali Sánchez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Ali Sánchez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 7 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
