Overview
- Chisholm was tossed by plate umpire Mark Wegner in the ninth inning after disputing a 2-0 strike call and asking, “Why are you looking at me?” marking his second ejection this season.
- His removal forced Oswaldo Peraza to shift to third base and DJ LeMahieu to move to second, disrupting the infield alignment during extra innings.
- New York dropped the contest 5-4 in 11 innings, extending its record to nine losses in the last 12 games and shrinking its AL East lead to one game over Tampa Bay.
- Captain Aaron Judge’s effort to calm Chisholm between innings failed, and manager Aaron Boone said he would have preferred to receive the ejection himself to shield his player.
- YES Network announcer Michael Kay criticized Chisholm for continued “chirping” at the umpire, arguing the infielder had no one to blame but himself despite acknowledging the bad call.
