Pirates infielder wanted to back out of ABS challenge — it was a good thing he didn’t

Big league teams are still getting used to the automated ball-strike system, but they learned Friday that there are no take-backs on a challenge.   On an 0-2 pitch with one out in the top of the seventh inning during the Pirates’ 2-0 win over the Cubs, Pittsburgh infielder Nick Gonzales took a 94 mph fastball from Chicago left-handed reliever Caleb Thielbar that appeared to be off the plate.   Home plate umpire Roberto Ortiz thought otherwise and rung up Gonzales for strike three.
