MLB Ejection 128 - Jerry Layne (3; AJ Hinch)

[Lindsay]

2B Umpire Jerry Layne ejected Tigers manager AJ Hinch (Replay Review decision that upheld Layne's safe call at second base) in the bottom of the 7th inning of the #Tigers-#WhiteSox game. With one out and one on (R1), White Sox batter Yasmani Grandal hit a 0-2 fastball from Tigers pitcher Joe Jimenez for a fly ball to center fielder Riley Greene, who threw to second base as White Sox baserunner R1 Jose Abreu tagged and attempted to advance, originally ruled safe by Layne, and upheld via Replay Review after a manager's challenge by Tigers manager Hinch. Replays fail to conclusively indicate whether the fielder's glove made contact with the runner's helmet, uniform, or body while the runner was off the base, the "call stands" ruling was correct. At the time of the ejection, the White Sox were leading, 5-4. The White Sox ultimately won the contest, 6-4.

This is Jerry Layne (24)'s 3rd ejection of 2022.

Jerry Layne now has 13 points in the UEFL Standings (9 Previous + 2 MLB + 2 Correct Call = 13).
