Major League Baseball has launched the new replay era.

Toronto Blue Jays manager John Gibbons unsuccessfully challenged a close play at first base in the sixth inning of his team's game with the Minnesota Twins on Monday.

The game was the first spring training game in history to use MLB's new replay technology, which allows for the review of a wide variety of calls.

With two outs in the sixth and a runner at second base, Twins right fielder Chris Rahl bounced what looked like a routine hopper to Blue Jays shortstop Munenori Kawasaki.

However, Kawasaki's throw to first was high and forced first baseman Jared Goedert to leap to catch it. Goedert then came down and appeared to touch the bag at about the same time that Rahl reached first base.

First-base umpire Fieldin Culbreth signaled safe, and Gibbons immediately popped out of the dugout and informed Culbreth he wanted to challenge the call.
