Mariners outfielder Rob Refsnyder turned an absurd strikeout call into a game-winning moment against the Cardinals.

The Seattle Mariners are one of the lowest-ranked teams to have used the ABS as hitters. But when Rob Refsnyder used it against the Cardinals, it turned out to be one of the best decisions.

How sweep it is!

Rob Refsnyder's challenge that led to his go-ahead home run was one of eight successful challenges by the Seattle Mariners and St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. Refsnyder lifted the Mariners to a 3-2 win in the game that featured nine challenges of plate umpire John Bacon's calls. Refsnyder had his third strike overturned in the ninth inning by the Automated Ball-Strike system before hitting JoJo Romero's pitch 412 feet into the left-field bullpen.

The Cardinals got solo homers from JJ Wetherholt and Nathan Church and a solid start by Michael McGreevy, but they fell 3-2 to the Mariners when JoJo Romero surrendered a pinch-hit homer to Rob Refsnyder in the ninth inning.
