[Lindsay]

HP Umpire Mark Ripperger ejected Blue Jays manager John Schneider (strike three call to Davis Schneider; QOCY) in the top of the 7th inning of the #BlueJays-#Pirates game. With none out and none on, Blue Jays batter Schneider took a 1-2 curveball from Pirates pitcher Evan Sisk for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the heart of home plate and at the hollow beneath the knee (px 0.13, pz 1.51 [sz_bot 1.47 / RAD 1.35]), the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the game was tied, 2-2. The Pirates ultimately won the contest, 5-2.

This is Mark Ripperger (90)'s 3rd ejection of 2025.

*This pitch was located 2.88 vertical inches from being deemed incorrect.
