Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider was ejected from Tuesday’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the fifth inning by home plate umpire Dan Merzel.
Merzel called a balk on Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman, which Schneider immediately came on the field to argue.
After a brief interaction, Merzel tossed Schneider from the game, which led to an even more animated argument.
This is Schneider’s first ejection of the season.
The Blue Jays are in the midst of a tough stretch as they entered play on Tuesday having lost five games in a row, with a 4-6 record.
They were dismantled by the Dodgers 14-2 in the first game of their three-game series on Monday night.
