Ejections 093, 094: D.J. Reyburn (4, 5)

2B Umpire D.J. Reyburn ejected Royals SS Alcides Escobar and Manager Ned Yost for Unsportsmanlike-NEC (repeat visit argument) in the bottom of the 9th inning of the Twins-Royals game. In the bottom of the 7th inning with two out and two on, Escobar hit a 1-0 slider from Twins pitcher Tyler Robertson to shortstop Brian Dozier who threw to second baseman Alexi Casilla to force out Royals baserunner R1 Chris Getz at second base. Though replays indicate Getz arrived at second base prior to the catch, the ejection occured two innings later and significantly after the call had already been argued, the call is irrecusable.* At the time of the ejection, the Twins were leading, 7-3. The Twins ultimately won the contest, 7-5.
