Jose Altuve Ejected After Disputing Controversial Call in Astros-Mets Game

The Astros second baseman's heated reaction to a questionable out call led to his second career ejection.

Altuve believed he fouled a ball off his foot, but umpires ruled it in play, ending the inning.
The call prevented the Astros from extending their 4-2 lead with runners in scoring position.
Altuve's outburst included slamming his bat and helmet, resulting in his ejection by home plate umpire James Jean.
The incident marked the first ejection for rookie umpire Jean, who made his MLB debut just two days earlier.
The Mets capitalized on the momentum shift, tying the game in the following inning.
