Atlanta Braves pitcher Chris Sale was ejected before the game against the New York Yankees, following a balk call from the previous day.
Chris Sale, a left-handed pitcher for the Atlanta Braves, was ejected before the start of a game against the New York Yankees on Sunday. This incident occurred just one day after he was penalized for a balk that resulted in the ejection of Braves manager Walt Weiss.
The ejection took place as umpires were entering the field, with Sale being removed by home-plate umpire Dan Merzel without having stepped onto the field. Merzel had previously called the balk against Sale during Saturday's game, which allowed Yankees player Spencer Jones to score the decisive run in a 5-4 victory for New York.
Following his ejection, Sale engaged in a discussion with home-plate umpire Dan Bellino. The balk was only the third of Sale's 16-year career.
