MLB Ejection 041 - Chris Conroy (1; Terry Francona)

[Lindsay]

HP Umpire Chris Conroy ejected Reds manager Terry Francona (Replay Review call stands decision that upheld 1B Umpire Ben May's safe [pulled foot] call on Sal Stewart; QOCY) in the bottom of the 1st inning of the #Reds-#Cardinals game. With two out and two on, Reds batter Bryan Torres hit a 2-1 sinker from Reds pitcher Brady Singer on the ground to 2B Spencer Steer, who threw to 1B Stewart as batter-runner Torres arrived at first base, ruled safe by 1B Umpire May and upheld (call stands) after Replay Review as the result of a manager's challenge by Reds manager Francona. Replays do not clearly nor convincingly indicate whether or not fielder Stewart kept his right foot in contact with first base upon catching the ball prior to Torres' arrival, the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Reds were leading, 3-0. The Cardinals ultimately won the contest, 10-3.

This is Chris Conroy (98)'s 1st ejection of 2026.

*QOC pertains to the Replay Official's "call stands" decision.
