[Lindsay]

HP Umpire Gabe Morales ejected Athletics bench player/pitcher JP Sears (ball four to Mike Trout; QOCN) in the bottom of the 6th inning of the #Athletics-#Angels game. With one out and two on, Angels batter Trout took a 3-2 fastball from A's pitcher Grant Holman for a called fourth ball. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the outer half of home plate and below the midpoint (px -0.55, pz 3.25 [sz_top 3.54 / RAD 3.66 / MOE 3.58]), the call was incorrect.* At the time of the ejection, the game was tied, 3-3. The Angels ultimately won the contest, 6-5.

  

This is Gabe Morales (47)'s 3rd ejection of 2025.

*This pitch was located 3.96 vertical inches away from being deemed correct.
