[Lindsay]

HP Umpire DJ Reyburn ejected Pirates manager Derek Shelton (automatic strike three to Michael A Taylor due to a pitch clock violation; QOCY) in the bottom of the 9th inning of the #RedSox-#Pirates game. With none out and none on, Pirates batter Michael A Taylor took a 1-1 cutter from Red Sox pitcher Kenley Jansen for a called second strike before striking out on a pitch clock violation. Replays indicate Taylor exited the batter's box with under eight seconds remaining on the pitch timer without being granted time out prior to the batter time limit, the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Red Sox were leading, 4-2. The Red Sox ultimately won the contest, 4-2.
