MLB Ejection 010 - Carlos Torres (1; Matt Blake)

HP Umpire Carlos Torres ejected Yankees pitching coach Matt Blake (ball two call to Nick Kurtz; QOCY) in the top of the 3rd inning of the #Athletics-#Yankees game. With one out and none on, A's batter Kurtz took a 1-0 fastball from Yankees pitcher Will Warren, ruled a ball by HP Umpire Torres. New York declined to challenge the pitch call.
