HP Umpire Alan Porter ejected Pirates pitching coach Bill Murphy and manager Don Kelly (allowing a Pirates challenge on balls/strikes & check swing; QOCY) in the bottom of the 6th inning of the #Pirates-#BlueJays game. With two out and none on, Blue Jays batter Lenyn Sosa took a 0-1 fastball from Pirates pitcher Yohan Ramírez for a called first ball, overturned to a called second strike upon challenge by Pirates catcher Henry Davis, the call was correct. On a subsequent pitch, Sosa attempted to check his swing, ruled a ball by Porter and affirmed as no swing by 1B Umpire Willie Traynor. At the time of the ejections, the Blue Jays were leading, 4-1. The Blue Jays ultimately won the contest, 5-2.
