Umpire in Red Sox-Astros game admits to unbelievable mistake: ‘Never done that before’

ABS can’t fix everything. During the fifth inning of the Astros’ 9-2 win over the Red Sox on Tuesday, Boston’s Brayan Bello induced three straight whiffs from Cam Smith to start the at-bat — but home plate umpire Mark Wegner somehow lost track of the count and missed the should-be strikeout. Wegner said after the third pitch that the count was one ball and two strikes, and the Astros outfielder battled back and worked a walk to knock Bello out of a 6-1 game.
