Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. ejected for second time this season after arguing strike call
CINCINNATI — Yankees third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. was ejected for the second time this season for arguing a called strike.
Chisholm was ejected before the bottom of the ninth inning of at 5-4, 11-inning loss to the Cincinnati Reds by plate umpire Mark Wegner after a pitch from Lyon Richardson that Chisholm thought was low in the zone on a 2-0 count was called a strike in the top half.
Chisholm struck out and continued arguing after leaving the batter's box. Yankees captain Aaron Judge walked out together as Chisholm went to third base for the bottom of the ninth.
Chisholm was still talking — he said it was to himself. Wegner held a hand up, as if to say enough, then ejected Chisholm.
'I looked at him and I said, 'Why are you looking at me?' And that's when I got tossed,' Chisholm said. 'I didn't get tossed for saying nothing crazy. I didn't get tossed saying, 'Oh, that was a bad pitch,' I got tossed for saying, 'Why are you looking at me?' I don't think that's a good reason to toss anybody.'
Chisholm was ejected from the a 6-3 victory over Tampa Bay on April 17 for arguing a called third strike by John Bacon. The following day, Chisholm was suspended for one game and fined by Major League Baseball, which cited his conduct and violation of MLB's social media policy when he posted in-game criticism online. The suspension was later dropped.
Chisholm said he needed to do a better job of controlling his emotions.
'That's why I'm upset because I wasn't talking to you (the umpire). I didn't even have nothing to say to you because I know if I had something to say you I was going to get tossed,' he said.
Manager Aaron Boone came out to try and held Chisholm back from Wegner.
'Obviously Jazz didn't like the 2-0 call, some words at home played within the at-bat, and then Jazz went out and says he wasn't saying anything to Mark Wegner. And Mark was looking down at him and ends up running them. Not a great situation,' Boone said.
The ejection meant Oswald Peraza moved to third base and DJ LeMahieu came in to play second base.
The Yankees have dropped the first two games of the series against the Reds and lost for the ninth time in 12 games. New York (45-34) has seen its lead in the AL East over Tampa Bay cut to one game.
'We have to play better. We have a lot of winners in the clubhouse. You guys asked the same question last year. We have to figure it out,' Judge said.

BetMGM Bonus Code WIREBG150: Bet $10 on Yankees-Reds, Get $150 in Bonus Bets if You Win
The Yankees have been slumping, with just three wins in their last 12 games. After dropping the first two games in Cincinnati, they will look to turn things around behind ace Max Fried (9-2, 2.05 ERA) in the series finale tonight. His presence will make this one of the most popular wagers tonight for those who sign up for the BetMGM bonus code WIREBG150 introductory offer that provides customers in select states with a bet $10, get $150 in bonus bets deal. The BetMGM bonus code WIREBG150 is available to new customers in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Bettors in the other states where BetMGM operates can use the BetMGM bonus code SBWIRE to get up to $1,500 in first-bet protection. This refunds an opening wager loss up to $1,500 with an equivalent bonus bet value. The Yankees are a favorite at sports betting apps because of Fried, but don't sell Cincinnati short. The Reds have an expected win/loss record that is nearly equal to New York's won/loss mark in part due to Elly De La Cruz, who went 3 for 4 with a home run, triple and three RBIs against the Yankees on Monday and then had two more hits on Tuesday night. The two losses cut the Yankees' lead in the AL East two just one game. New York had a seven-game divisional lead on May 29. The Detroit Tigers have the most wins in the Majors and could end with multiple players on this year's AL All-Star squad. Spencer Torkelson and company face a tougher than expected challenge in Oakland, a team that started poorly this year but recently notched six wins in eight games. You can place just about any type of MLB wager you can think of after signing up with either of the BetMGM bonus code offers. These sportsbook promos are not only your gateway to standard spread, total and moneyline bets, but also same game parlays, wagers on the first five innings, various other parlay bets and live in-game betting. BetMGM Bonus Code Promos: Get $150 in Bonus Bets or $1500 First-Bet Offer The Cardinals have taken the first two games of their four-game set with the Cubs, shrinking Chicago's leads in the NL Central to just 2.5 games over St. Louis and Milwaukee. Masyn Winn keyed Tuesday night's 8-7 victory with a home run and four RBI for the Cardinals, who have won seven of eight. The loss was Chicago's third straight. They haven't lost four in a row all season. Lefty Matthew Boyd (6-3, 2.84), who hasn't allowed more than two earned runs in any of his last five starts, will try and stop the bleeding for the Cubs. The Cardinals will counter with right-hander Erick Fedde (3-6, 3.54 ERA). The NBA gets to highlight its future stars with tonight's NBA Draft. Duke's Cooper Flagg is the prohibitive No. 1 pick at -10000 odds, with Rutgers' Dylan Harper expected to go second at -10000 odds. The intrigue surrounds Harper's Rutgers teammate Ace Bailey, who was long considered the No. 3 prospect in the Draft but has been plagued with controversy over the last couple of weeks. First, Bailey measured 6-7 ½ at the NBA Scouting Combine – not 6-10 as he had been listed at Rutgers. Then, he reportedly refused workouts for certain teams in the top five, perhaps in the hope of steering himself to teams in the 6-10 range. It's a gamble that could cost him millions, although his camp has remained confident it will work out in Bailey's favor. BetMGM is offering odds on Bailey to be drafted anywhere from first to eighth. His best odds come at No. 6, where he is the +120 favorite to be selected by the Washington Wizards. You can bet on the NBA Draft tonight or any game on the schedule after creating a new account with the BetMGM bonus code WIREBG150 in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia or the BetMGM bonus code SBWIRE elsewhere.
