[Lindsay]

HP Umpire Larry Vanover ejected Orioles manager Brandon Hyde (strike two call; QOCY) in the top of the 5th inning of the #Orioles-#BlueJays game. With two out and one on, Orioles batter Colton Cowser took a 0-1 fastball from Blue Jays pitcher Bowden Francis for a called second strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the outer edge of home plate and at the midpoint (px -0.69, pz 3.48 [sz_top 3.47 / RAD 3.59]), the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Blue Jays were leading, 3-2. The Orioles ultimately won the contest, 7-3.

This is Larry Vanover (27)'s 1st ejection of 2024.
