[Lindsay]

1B Umpire Alex Tosi ejected Pirates catcher Joey Bart (check swing strike one call) in the bottom of the 8th inning of the #Giants-#Pirates game. With two out and none on, Bart attempted to check his swing on a 2-0 slider from Giants pitcher Randy Rodríguez, ruled a ball by HP Umpire Tom Hanahan and called a swinging strike on appeal by 1B Umpire Tosi. After subsequently grounding out on the next pitch, Bart complained to Tosi about the check swing strike call while running past him near first base. At the time of the ejection, the Giants were leading, 7-6. The Giants ultimately won the contest, 7-6.

This is Alex Tosi (66)'s 3rd ejection of 2024.
