Bill Miller Sets 0-for-8 ABS Mark in Reds' 10-8 Win Over Cubs

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 29

Summary

  • Eight challenged pitches were all overturned against home plate umpire Bill Miller in Cincinnati’s 10-8 win at Wrigley Field, the worst single-game ABS challenge performance since MLB introduced the system in 2026.
  • Chicago won five challenges and Cincinnati three, with only two of the eight disputed pitches originally called strikes; Carson Kelly initiated four successful Cubs challenges, while Jose Trevino won two for the Reds.
  • TapToChallenge.com data shows Miller now has 70 overturned calls this season, ninth-most among MLB umpires, with Hunter Wendelstedt leading the league.
  • Miller had already drawn scrutiny in a Reds game last month after colliding with infielder Edwin Arroyo on a grounder, a play that prompted reliever Caleb Ferguson’s hot-mic tirade and later apology.
