[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] In the best-of-five National League Division Series, the Dodgers defeated the Braves 5-3 in the first game. However, Dodger star outfielder Andy Pages failed in his ABS challenge (Automated Ball-Strike System, referred to as ABS) at the first plate. Dodger head coach Dave Roberts made it clear before the game today that Pages will be restricted from using ABS challenges.
Parkes made an ABS challenge yesterday in the second inning with 2 good and 2 bad in the leadoff. As a result, the challenge failed and he struck out, leaving the Dodgers with only one chance to challenge in the middle and late stages of the game. According to the "New York Post" report, Parkes failed the ABS challenge 14 times this year, the most on the team, with a success rate of only 44%.

"We've talked a lot this year about Andy's success rate, or lack thereof, with the ABS challenge," Robles noted.
"It's my fault that I didn't re-examine this before the first game yesterday," Robles said. "But I did talk to him today. So, yes, we will manage this going forward."
Asked if Pajes would refrain from making any further challenges, Robles said, "Yes."
Open Questions
- Will Pachs still be allowed to use ABS challenges in other situations in the future?
- Will Robles similarly manage ABS challenge usage for other players?
