Umpire Angel Hernandez also called strikes on 7 pitches that missed by 3+ inches.

This was the most in a game since 2020.

Umpire Brennan Miller missed 10 calls in the first 4 innings and 9 went against the Twins.

Miller missed 22 calls in the game and 17 went against the Twins.

Umpire Andy Fletcher called the worst game of the season so far -- missing 23 pitches in the Pirates Nationals game

HP umpire Mike Ripperger incorrectly called a fair ball, it was overturned to a HBP, and then Ripperger failed to confer with 1B umpire who should've called it a swing and thus a dead ball strike.

2B umpire Vic Carapazza then stared down the M's dugout and ejected Dylan Moore.

Umpire Bruce Dreckman called a ball on a pitch that was right down the middle and should've ended the inning.

Instead, Braves pitcher Max Fried walked in a run, gave up a two run single, and was pulled from the game.
