MLB Ejection 156 - Junior Valentine (3; Ryan Goins)

HP Umpire Junior Valentine ejected Angels interim bench coach Ryan Goins (ball four call to Trevor Larnach; QOCY) in the top of the 5th inning of the #Twins-#Angels game. With none out and none on, Twins batter Larnach took a 3-2 sinker from Angels pitcher Andrew Chafin for a called fourth ball. Replays indicate the pitch was located off the inner edge of home plate and below the hollow beneath the knee (px 0.94, pz 1.52 [sz_bot 1.81 / RAD 1.69]), the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Angels were leading, 3-1. The Angels ultimately won the contest, 4-3.
