MLB Ejection 113 - Jerry Layne (2; Bob Melvin)

1B Umpire Jerry Layne ejected Padres manager Bob Melvin (Replay Review decision that overturned Layne's out [catch] call to safe [foul ball]) in the top of the 5th inning of the #Twins-#Padres game. With two out and two on, Twins batter Byron Buxton hit a 0-0 sinker from Padres pitcher Sean Manaea in the air along the right field fence-line in foul territory, where it was gloved by Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer, ruled a catch and air out by 1B Umpire Layne. Upon Replay Review as the result of a challenge by Twins manager Rocco Baldelli, the call was overturned to a foul ball, with the Replay Official ruling that the batted ball made contact with the protective netting prior to settling into Hosmer's glove. Replays indicate the ball appeared to change direction during its descent, indicative of contact with the net, the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the game was tied, 1-1. The Padres ultimately won the contest, 3-2.
