Yankees manager Aaron Boone and DJ LeMahieu were thrown out in the 10th inning of Friday’s 2-1 loss to the Red Sox at Fenway Park.
LeMahieu hit a ball down the first-base line, and when it hit the dirt, it was called a foul ball.
The Yankees, however, disagreed and thought it was a fair ball as it was very close to the line.
So, they called for a challenge.

After a review by MLB’s replay officials, the verdict was announced — the ball was a foul.
Boone was livid and tossed his gum right out of his mouth as he screamed at the umpires.

That outburst caused him to be ejected from the game.
But he wasn’t the only one.
LeMahieu then proceeded to hit into a groundout, which ended the inning.

Before he went to the dugout, LeMahieu, it seemed, had some words for first-base umpire Jeremie Rehak.
Whatever he said was enough for the second ejection of the inning.
