[Lindsay]

HP Umpire Erich Bacchus ejected Rangers manager Bruce Bochy (strike three call to Wyatt Langford; QOCY) in the top of the 6th inning of the #Rangers-#RedSox game. With two out and the bases loaded, Rangers batter Langford took a 2-2 sweeper from Red Sox pitcher Lucas Sims for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located off the outer edge of home plate and at the hollow of the knee (px 0.91, pz 1.56 [sz_bot 1.58 / RAD 1.46]), the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Red Sox were leading, 6-4. The Red Sox ultimately won the contest, 9-4.

This is Erich Bacchus (12)'s 5th ejection of 2024.
