MLB Ejection 092 - Alan Porter (5; Davis Martin)

HP Umpire Alan Porter ejected White Sox pitcher Davis Martin (throwing at Sal Stewart) in the top of the 3rd inning of the #Reds-#WhiteSox game. With none out and none on, Reds batter Stewart took a 0-1 fastball for a ball and 1-1 fastball for a hit-by-pitch. Replays indicate the 0-1 pitch was located inside and above Stewart's head while the 1-1 HBP struck Stewart in the head, the call was irrecusable.* At the time of the ejection, the White Sox were leading, 4-3. The Reds ultimately won the contest, 9-8.

This is Alan Porter (64)'s 5th ejection of 2026.
