HP Umpire Dan Bellino ejected Twins 3B Josh Donaldson (strike one call after HR; QOCU) in the top of the 6th inning of the #Twins-#WhiteSox game. With none out and none on, Donaldson took a 2-0 slider from White Sox pitcher Reynaldo Lopez for a called first strike before hitting a home run on the subsequent 2-1 pitch, ejected for arguing balls and strikes after he crossed home plate. Replays indicate the pitch ruled strike one was located off the outer edge of home plate and knee-high (px 1.04, pz 1.61 [sz_bot 1.54]); pursuant to
UEFL Rule 6-5-c, the call was irrecusable.* At the time of the ejection, the Twins were leading, 3-2. The White Sox ultimately won the contest, 4-3.
This is Dan Bellino (2)'s fourth ejection of 2020.
