SALE, STILL FUMING AFTER BALK, EJECTED BEFORE WIN

Atlanta Braves ace Chris Sale was ejected by umpire Dan Merzel before a pitch was thrown in Sunday's game against the New York Yankees, according to www.espn.com - TOP. This incident occurred a day after Sale was called for a balk, his third career balk, which scored a run in a loss at Yankee Stadium. The ejection happened before the game's first pitch, in a surprising turn of events.

The balk call from the previous day's game seemed to still be on Sale's mind, as the ejection took place without him throwing a pitch, indicating a possible disagreement with the umpire, according to the same source. The Braves, however, went on to win the game 2-1 against the Yankees. Limited information is available on what exactly led to the ejection, but it's clear the previous day's events had an impact.

The incident highlights the tense relationship between umpires and players, especially in competitive games like those between the Braves and the Yankees. Understanding the full context of the ejection is challenging without further details, but it's clear that the events of the previous day played a significant role.
