NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Plate umpire Ron Kulpa left Saturday\u2019s game between the Miami Marlins and New York Yankees with two outs in the fourth inning after taking a foul ball off his mask.<\/p>\n
Kulpa was hit in the mask by a foul ball earlier in the inning and stayed in as Jakob Marsee\u2019s RBI single gave the Marlins a 4-0 lead. After Agust\u00edn Ram\u00edrez scored on the hit, Kulpa motioned to the Yankees\u2019 dugout and was checked out by two trainers.<\/p>\n
After a few minutes, Kulpa exited under his own power for further examination.<\/p>\n
The game was delayed about 10 minutes and resumed with Scott Barry moving from first base to the plate.<\/p>\n
Kulpa made his umpiring debut in the majors July 23, 1998, and was promoted to a full-time umpire in 1999. He was part of the umpiring crew for the World Series in 2011 and 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Plate umpire Ron Kulpa left Saturday\u2019s game between the Miami Marlins and New York…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":663844,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2376],"tags":[5,22740,84615,4,1690,62,2548,2547,9501,9496,22871,22858,22859,42363,39731,142],"class_list":{"0":"post-663843","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-yankees","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-jakob-marsee","10":"tag-kulpa-umpire-hurt-yankees-marlins","11":"tag-mlb","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-yankees","14":"tag-newyork","15":"tag-newyorkyankees","16":"tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","17":"tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","18":"tag-product-40780-ap-florida-sports-only","19":"tag-product-40802-ap-new-york-city-sports-only","20":"tag-product-40803-ap-new-york-state-sports-only","21":"tag-ron-kulpa","22":"tag-scott-barry","23":"tag-yankees"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116349682071915489","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663843","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=663843"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663843\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/663844"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=663843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=663843"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=663843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
