Orioles manager Brandon Hyde was ejected from Monday’s Patriots Day matinee against the Boston Red Sox for arguing a slide-rule interpretation at second base after an unsuccessful replay review.
With runners on first and third and no outs in the fifth inning, Red Sox left fielder Steve Pearce hit a ground ball to third base. Rio Ruiz fielded it cleanly and relayed to second baseman Jonathan Villar.
Villar hesitated slightly before making the throw to first base as Rafael Devers appeared to slide through second base and stand up into Villar’s lower half.
