In a heated moment during the first inning of a split doubleheader at Fenway Park, Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora was ejected after disputing an interference call that allowed Byron Buxton of the Minnesota Twins to advance to third base.
Cora took his argument to the mound, attempting to reason with the umpiring crew led by Alan Porter, but to no avail. His passionate appeal drew applause from the fans as he left the field.
