The Boston Red Sox achieved a 9-4 victory over the Cleveland Guardians on May 31, 2026, while successfully challenging four ABS calls. This marked a significant improvement after Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow acknowledged the team's insufficient challenge usage and success rate earlier in the week. The team's effective challenges included overturning key pitches in the fifth inning and securing key strikeouts for pitchers.
