Red Sox Win After Buehler, Cora Ejections

Boston Red Sox pitcher Walker Buehler and manager Alex Cora were ejected in the third inning against the New York Mets after a dispute with umpire Mike Estabrook over a missed strike call. Buehler, in his first start back from injury, was tossed after 2.1 scoreless, no-hit innings and four strikeouts, and later praised the Red Sox bullpen for securing a 2-0 shutout win. He also criticized Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor on social media for encouraging his ejection, stating, 'I wouldn’t want me out there either,' and complimented the bullpen's performance. After the game, Buehler accepted responsibility for his actions and expressed regret for letting his emotions affect the team. The Red Sox, now back at .500, look to build on their momentum as Buehler prepares for his next start. The incident has also highlighted ongoing concerns about umpiring decisions and Boston's pitching depth.
