MLB Ejection 036 - Adrian Johnson (2; Derek Shelton)

3B Umpire Adrian Johnson ejected Pirates manager Derek Shelton (pitch clock timer operation by HP Umpire Quinn Wolcott; QOCU) in the top of the 4th inning of the #Pirates-#Rays game. With two out and none on, Pirates batter Ji Hwan Bae singled on a 1-0 fastball from Rays pitcher Shane McClanahan. Following this play, Shelton alleged to Wolcott that the 30-second between batters pitch clock did not start properly, resulting in an argument that Shelton eventually directed to 3B Umpire and Crew Chief Johnson when Wolcott proceeded with the game and prepared for McClanahan's first pitch to ensuing batter Austin Hedges. Shelton was ejected as McClanahan delivered to Hedges, the call was irrecusable. At the time of the ejection, the Rays were leading, 3-1. The Rays ultimately won the contest, 8-1.

This is Adrian Johnson (80)'s 1st ejection of 2023.

This is the 36th ejection report of the 2023 MLB regular season.
