MLB Ejection 069 - Brian O'Nora (1; David Bell)

HP Umpire Brian O'Nora ejected Reds manager David Bell (illegal substance check/non-ejection of Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt) in the 5th inning of the #Yankees-#Reds game. Earlier in the contest when inspecting Schmidt's hand, 3B Umpire Nestor Ceja appeared to have detected something, but did not appear to advise the pitcher to perform any corrective action. Prior to the bottom of the 5th inning, the entire crew met with pitcher Schmidt with 1B Umpire Pat Hoberg instructing him, "wash it off" pertaining to something on his hand. When Schmidt then returned to the field, HP Umpire O'Nora conducted an inspection and allowed Schmidt to take the mound to resume the game. At the time of the ejection, the Yankees were leading, 1-0. The Yankees ultimately won the contest, 6-2.

This is Brian O'Nora (7)'s 1st ejection of 2023.
