Yankees’ Boone,LeMahieu Ejected in Loss to Red Sox

boston—New York Yankees manager aaron Boone and second baseman ⁣DJ lemahieu were both ⁤ejected from⁤ Friday’s game against the Boston red Sox after arguing a foul ball call in the 10th inning. The Yankees lost 2-1.

The incident occurred when LeMahieu hit a drive down the right-field line with two ⁢outs against Red Sox reliever garrett Whitlock. First base umpire Jeremie⁣ Rehak called the ball foul, prompting a heated reaction from LeMahieu. Boone challenged the call, but after review, it was ⁤upheld.

An incensed Boone then argued with the umpires, resulting in his ‍ejection by‍ home plate umpire john Tumpane.

“I ⁣want the courage‍ to ⁤overturn the call,” Boone told reporters afterward, ⁢arguing that a quarter of the ball was on the line.

Moments later, LeMahieu grounded out to ⁤end the inning. As he passed Rehak, he ‍voiced his disagreement and ⁣was also ejected—the first time ⁤in ⁤his 15-year career.

According to NJ⁤ Advance Media, LeMahieu said he told Rehak, “That was a brutal call,” before the ejection. “Of all ⁣the things I’ve said to umpires, ⁤I was pretty surprised,” LeMahieu added.

The Red Sox then‍ walked⁤ off the Yankees in the bottom of the 10th to secure the win.

The Yankees (42-26) continue the⁢ three-game ⁤series against the Red ⁤Sox ‍(35-36) at 7:15 p.m. ⁤ET.
