George Springer‘s night came to an early end on Tuesday.
The Blue Jays outfielder was ejected in the top of the 7th inning against the Los Angeles Angels for arguing a hit-by-pitch call with home plate umpire Manny Gonzalez.
Springer felt that he got hit in the foot on a low pitch by Angels pitcher Kenny Rosenberg. Gonzalez ruled the play a no-hit-by-pitch, but Blue Jays manager John Schneider decided to challenge the call.
After video review, the call stood as called, much to Springer’s dismay.
Springer had a few choice words for Gonzalez after the review, but appeared to be walking away from the umpire when he was ejected.
That’s when Springer really lost his cool.
After he was thrown out, Springer got up close and personal with Gonzalez and screamed in his face. He had to be restrained by both Schneider and Vladimir Guerreo Jr. before eventually making his way to the dugout and into the clubhouse.
Springer was 0-for-2 with one run scored before exiting the contest. He is the ninth Blue Jays player to be ejected from a game this season.
