Pirates benefit from instant replay in win over Dodgers

Pittsburgh Manager Clint Hurdle said he can't remember ever asking for video reviews of three calls in the same game before.

Which either means he's never done it or he has a really bad memory because baseball didn't start using instant replay to challenge an umpire's decision until last season.

Either way, Hurdle certainly made the right call by asking for the reviews Saturday since all three went his way in a 6-5 win over the Dodgers.

"Winning all three speaks to the importance of it and why we have it," Hurdle said after the Pirates held on for the victory in a marathon that lasted nearly four hours — more than 10 minutes of which were dedicated to umpires reviewing video.
