Overview
- Home-plate umpire Manny Gonzalez tossed Dominic Canzone after a called strike on Cole Young, then ejected manager Dan Wilson when he came out to defend the dugout.
- Reporters on scene described initial uncertainty about whom Gonzalez intended to eject before it was clarified that Canzone was the player removed.
- Bench coach Manny Acta assumed managerial duties after Wilson’s second ejection of the season, which came during Seattle’s late-season playoff push.
- Cal Raleigh, Julio Rodríguez, and Jorge Polanco hit solo home runs, Bryan Woo issued three walks before yielding a game-tying 40th homer to Junior Caminero, and Tampa Bay prevailed 6-5.
- Coverage cited a later missed strike-three call on Caleb Ferguson, bullpen lapses, and a seventh-inning sacrifice-bunt choice as pivotal moments in the one-run defeat.
