MLB Ejection 023 - Chris Guccione (1; Joe Girardi)

3B Umpire Chris Guccione ejected Yankees Manager Joe Girardi for arguing a balk no-call in the top of the 4th inning of the Yankees-Orioles game. With two out and a runner on third, Orioles pitcher Kevin Gausman delivered from Set Position to Yankees batter Carlos Beltran. Replays indicate Gausman stayed true to his natural pitching motion, the call was correct.* Original Ruling Appealed and Affirmed by UEFL Appeals Board (Balk/QOC: Correct). At the time of the ejection, the game was tied, 0-0. The Orioles ultimately won the contest, 1-0, in 10 innings.

This is Chris Guccione (68)'s first ejection of the 2016 MLB regular season.
Chris Guccione now has 3 points in the UEFL Standings (-1 Previous + 2 MLB + 2 QOCY = 3).
