[Lindsay]

HP Umpire Lance Barrett ejected Yankees manager Aaron Boone (strike one call to Oswald Peraza; QOCN) in the bottom of the 2nd inning of the #BlueJays-#Yankees game. With one out and one on, Yankees batter Peraza took a first-pitch fastball from Blue Jays pitcher Kevin Gausman for a called first strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the outer edge of home plate and below the hollow of the knee (px 0.72, pz 1.28 [sz_bot 1.63 / RAD 1.51 / MOE 1.43]), the call was incorrect.* At the time of the ejection, the game was tied, 0-0. The Blue Jays ultimately won the contest, 6-1.

This is Lance Barrett (94)'s 5th ejection of 2023.

*This pitch was located 1.76 vertical inches from being deemed correct.
