Pirates benefit from instant replay in win over Dodgers

Which either means he's never done it or he has a really bad memory because baseball didn't start using instant replay to challenge an umpire's decision until last season.
Either way, Hurdle certainly made the right call by asking for the reviews Saturday since all three went his way in a 6-5 win over the Dodgers.
