MLB Ejections 025-28 - Joe West (1-4; KC-CWS Fight)

2B Umpire Joe West ejected Royals pitcher Brad Keller (throwing at White Sox batter Tim Anderson), White Sox SS Tim Anderson, Manager Rick Renteria, and Royals Bench Coach Dale Sveum (fighting) in the bottom of the 6th inning of the Royals-White Sox game. In the 4th, with two out and one on (R2), Anderson hit a 3-2 fastball from Keller for a two-run home run, appearing to flip his bat at home plate. In the 6th, Anderson took a first-pitch fastball from Keller for a hit-by-pitch, resulting in a bench-clearing incident. Replays indicate the pitch was located inside and struck Anderson in the left buttock, warnings had not previously been issued, the call was irrecusable. At the time of the ejections, the game was tied, 2-2. The Royals ultimately won the contest, 4-3, in 10 innings.
