[Lindsay]

HP Umpire Carlos Torres ejected Twins CF Joey Gallo and manager Rocco Baldelli (ball two call; QOCN) in the bottom of the 3rd inning of the #Rangers-#Twins game. With two out and the bases loaded, Gallo took a 0-1 cutter from Rangers pitcher Dane Dunning for a called second strike before striking out one pitch later. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the outer half of home plate and at the midpoint (px -0.54, pz 3.81 [sz_top 3.54 / RAD 3.66 / MOE 3.74), the call was incorrect.* At the time of the ejections, the Twins were leading, 4-1. The Twins ultimately won the contest, 12-2.

These are Carlos Torres (37)'s 4th and 5th ejections of 2023.

*This pitch was located 0.84 vertical inches from being deemed correct.

Benches also cleared in this game after an intentionally throwing at/HBP incident, resulting in warnings.
