The New York Yankees successfully challenged all five calls they made using the automated ball-strike system during their 2-1 defeat to the Seattle Mariners on Monday night. The streak began in the second inning when Jose Caballero overturned two called strikes by umpire Mike Estabrook, including a 3-2 pitch from Mariners starter Luis Castillo. Caballero signaled for the challenge by tapping his helmet as he removed his left shin guard.

Giancarlo Stanton later successfully challenged a 1-2 slider from Castillo as out of the zone, reaching on a single. Jazz Chisholm Jr. then challenged a first-pitch slider from Castillo as out of the zone, though he struck out. After Chisholm's at-bat, an exchange occurred between Estabrook and Yankees manager Aaron Boone, who remained in the dugout.

The Yankees ultimately lost on a walk-off hit in the ninth inning by catcher Cal Raleigh. The Yankees now boast an MLB-best 10 successful challenges this season and are 10-of-11 on challenges overall, trailing only the Arizona Diamondbacks..
