Overview

  • Chisholm was ejected by plate umpire Mark Wegner after disputing a 2-0 pitch in the top of the ninth inning of Tuesday night’s game
  • He argued that the low pitch shouldn’t have been called a strike, telling Wegner, “Why are you looking at me?” before being tossed
  • Manager Aaron Boone intervened to hold Chisholm back and the ejection shifted Oswald Peraza to third base and brought DJ LeMahieu in at second
  • The Yankees fell 5-4 in 11 innings, marking their ninth loss in their last 12 games
  • The recent slump has trimmed New York’s AL East lead to one game, prompting Captain Aaron Judge to stress the need for improved focus
