1st review under MLB's expanded replay system: The call stands in Blue Jays-Twins exhibition
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The first review under Major League Baseball's expanded replay system has taken place and after a further look that took 2½ minutes, the call stood.
Toronto manager John Gibbons used his challenge to ask umpires to review a play in the sixth inning of Monday's game against Minnesota.
Chris Rahl of the Twins was called safe at first base when shortstop Munenori Kawasaki's throw pulled Jared Goedert off the bag.

MLB has expanded replay this year beyond potential home runs and boundary calls. This season, most every play except for balls-and-strikes is subject to a manager challenging the ruling.
