Yankees manager Aaron Boone and DJ LeMahieu were thrown out in the 10th inning of Friday’s loss to the Red Sox at Fenway Park.
LeMahieu hit a ball down the first-base line, and when it hit the dirt, it was called a foul ball.
The Yankees, however, disagreed and thought it was a fair ball as it was very close to the line.
So, they called for a challenge.

After a review by MLB’s replay officials, the verdict was announced — the ball was a foul.

That outburst caused him to be ejected from the game.
But he wasn’t the only one.
LeMahieu then proceeded to hit into a groundout, which ended the inning.

Before he went to the dugout, LeMahieu, it seemed, had some words for first-base umpire Jeremie Rehak.
Whatever he said was enough for the second ejection of the inning.
