[Lindsay]

HP Umpire Willie Traynor ejected Phillies pitcher Jesús Luzardo (ball four call to Starling Marte; QOCY) in the bottom of the 5th inning of the #Phillies-#Mets game. With none out and two on, Mets batter Marte took a 3-2 fastball from Phillies pitcher Luzardo for a called fourth ball. Replays indicate the pitch was located off the inner edge of home plate and above the midpoint (px -0.84, pz 3.69 [sz_top 3.52 / RAD 3.64]), the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Phillies were leading, 2-1. The Mets ultimately won the contest, 6-5.

This is Willie Traynor (45)'s 2nd ejection of 2025.

*This pitch was located 0.12 horizontal and 1.56 vertical inches from being deemed incorrect.
