Yankees’ Boone Ejected During Intense Game in Seattle

On Tuesday night, after the Yankees managed to tie the game in Seattle, their manager, Aaron Boone, was ejected for arguing a controversial strike call that many thought was too low.

With Anthony Volpe on second base and the game tied at one, Jasson Dominguez faced a critical moment when he was called out looking at a pitch that seemed clearly below the strike zone.

Typically modest, Dominguez raised his hands in disbelief and started to voice his frustration to the home plate umpire.

This prompted Boone to rush out of the dugout in an attempt to defend Dominguez. However, his actions resulted in a quick ejection.

Boone made his feelings known as he confronted home plate umpire Mark Wegner, ensuring his displeasure was clear.

The incident unfolded as the Yankees were trailing 1-0 in the ninth inning when Volpe’s check-swing groundout brought in a run, tying the game after he scored Pablo Reyes.

Mariners closer, Andres Munoz, managed to retire Oswald Peraza to prevent further scoring damage.

Earlier in the game, Reyes had been running in place of Paul Goldschmidt, who had earlier stolen a base to spark the Yankees’ late rally.

Luke Weaver kept the Mariners scoreless at the bottom of the ninth, extending the game into extra innings.
