MLB Ejection 027 - Alan Porter (1; Josh Bard)

HP Umpire Alan Porter ejected Yankees Bench Coach Josh Bard (strike three call; QOCY) in the top of the 4th inning of the Yankees-Angels game. With none out and none on, Yankees batter Aaron Judge took a 1-2 sinker from Angels pitcher Andrew Heaney for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the outer edge of home plate and thigh-high (px .742, pz 2.487) and that all other pitches during the at-bat were properly officiated (Judge's at-bat was the first of the inning), the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Angels were leading, 1-0. The Yankees ultimately won the contest, 4-3, in 10 innings.

This is Alan Porter (64)'s first ejection of 2018.
Alan Porter now has 6 points in the UEFL Standings (2 Prev + 2 MLB + 2 Correct Call = 6).
