Individual Major League Baseball games have seen ejections resulting from disputes over umpire rulings. In an August matchup between the Atlanta Braves and the New York Yankees, pitcher Chris Sale was ejected from a game at Yankee Stadium before the first pitch. The ejection followed a dispute regarding a balk call made during the previous day’s game. Crew chief Dan Bellino noted that Sale failed to declare his intent to pitch from the windup. In a separate September incident during a game between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Angels, Yankees manager Aaron Boone and pitching coach Matt Blake were ejected in the tenth inning. The ejections occurred after Boone protested a check-swing ruling by umpire Junior Valentine. Valentine regarding a swing by Grissom, which the Yankees expected to be a strike three. Despite the controversy, the Yankees secured a 6-3 victory in the 10-inning game, aided by a five-run rally in the final frame.
