Overview

• Walker Buehler and Alex Cora were ejected during the third inning of a scoreless game against the Mets at Fenway Park on May 20, 2025.
• Buehler, in his first start since returning from injury, was thrown out after disputing a ball call by home-plate umpire Mike Estabrook.
• Cora, attempting to confront Estabrook after Buehler's ejection, was restrained by first base umpire Laz Diaz and subsequently ejected for pushing Diaz.
• This marks Buehler's second career ejection and Cora's first of the season, bringing his career total as a manager to 18.
• Brennan Bernardino replaced Buehler on the mound, as the incident heightened scrutiny on Boston's leadership and pitching under pressure.
