Hosmer, Yost ejected after check-swing call

CLEVELAND -- Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer and manager Ned Yost were ejected in the top of the first inning by home-plate umpire Bill Welke in Saturday's game against the Indians.

Hosmer was tossed after third-base umpire David Rackley ruled he went around on a check-swing attempt with the bases loaded and none out. Hosmer immediately began barking at Rackley and Welke quickly ejected him.

Moments later after Yost came out to argue with Welke, Yost was ejected.

It was the second career ejection for Hosmer, who was also tossed on May 4, 2016.
