MLB Ejection 011 - Adam Beck (1; Kurt Suzuki)

HP Umpire Adam Beck ejected Angels manager Kurt Suzuki (runner's lane interference call; QOCY) in the top of the 8th inning of the #Angels-#Reds game. With none out and none on, Angels batter Logan O'Hoppe struck out swinging on a 2-2 slurve from Reds pitcher Tony Santillan, which went uncaught by catcher Tyler Stephenson, who retrieved the baseball and threw to 1B Sal Stewart, ruled interference by HP Umpire Beck. Replays indicate batter-runner O'Hoppe failed to run within the three-foot runner's lane and in doing so interfered with 1B Stewart's ability to receive the throw, the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Reds were leading, 5-3. The Reds ultimately won the contest, 7-3.

This is Adam Beck (38)'s 1st ejection of 2026.

Official Baseball Rule 5.09(a)(11): "A batter is out when, in running the last half of the distance from home base to first base, while the ball is being fielded to first base, they run outside (to the right of) the three-foot line, or inside (to the left of) the foul line and on the infield grass, and in the umpire’s judgment in so doing interfere with the fielder taking the throw at first base, in which case the ball is dead."
