Tensions Flare as New York Yankees Skipper Aaron Boone Gets Ejected in the First Inning of Series Closer

The season outlook has changed very quickly for the New York Yankees, as they have built great momentum. They are currently playing a 3-game away series against the Cincinnati Reds and have won the first two contests. Considering their form, many fans expected them to complete the series sweep. But the third game started off with controversy as Yankees skipper Aaron Boone has been ejected in the first inning. 

Notably, the Bronx Bombers have faced some controversy in recent series. First, Aaron Judge was accused of cheating, then one of their pitchers was banned for 10 games. And now Boone had to leave the field early.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone gets ejected in the first inning for arguing with the umpire

The Yankees are currently facing off against the Reds with the hope of getting the series sweep. But skipper Aaron Boone has been ejected in the first inning after arguing a call with the umpires. With two outs and Jonathan India on first, Reds first baseman Spencer Steer hit what was deemed a foul ball. But after a review, the ball was called to be fair. The controversy arose when Jonatan was allowed to score a run on the overturned play, instead of being put on third base. This led to the argument and Boone’s subsequent ejection. Baseball content creator Dillard Barnhart shared a video of the ejection on Twitter.

In a Tweet, he said, “Aaron Boone has been tossed. Third ejection of the season.” This has put the Yankees in a tough position without their manager. But a majority of the game is left to play and the team could possibly win. But Boone seems to be breaking records as many sources are reporting that he may be the first manager to be ejected before noon.

Although the Aaron Boone ejection has overtaken the headlines, Yankees fans have a reason to celebrate. Luis Severino is back on the mound after beginning the season on the injured list. This is a huge moment for the Bombers, as they have dealt with a thin bullpen. Furthermore, although he gave up an early run, Severino was able to close the inning with just one run conceded.
