It only took 13 games for Aaron Boone to notch his first ejection of the season.
On Wednesday night as the Yankees trailed the Marlins 4-1 in the bottom of the 7th inning at Yankee Stadium, the Yankees manager was tossed after Alex Verdugo was called for a strike on a pitch that looked to be on the outside and low.
Boone’s animated reaction from the dugout was enough to set home plate umpire John Bacon off, sending him out of the game while the Bronx crowd sent boos through the stadium.
Before heading to the clubhouse, Boone came out to say his piece to Bacon about the call, which pushed the count 1-2 and eventually led to Verdugo striking out.
Boone is no stranger to ejections over his seven years in the league with the Yankees.
He held an AL-leading seven ejections last season and has accumulated 33 in his career as manager.
