Houston – Manager Brad Ausmus credited coach Matt Martin.
“That’s all Matt Martin, sitting in the booth,” Ausmus said.
Martin passed the credit to video operations assistant August Sandri.
“That’s August,” Martin said. “He’s the one who knows how to operate the thing. He is really good at it.”
Nobody wants the credit? Fine. But the Tigers’ were on the money with video reviews Saturday night. They made two successful challenges in the 5-3 win against the Astros. Both times Martin and Sandri reacted quickly to get calls overturned.
“Yesterday was quick because they were obvious,” Ausmus said.
