Jose Altuve Ejected in Astros' Win Over Mets

Houston Astros' star Jose Altuve was ejected for the second time in his career during an 11-inning win over the New York Mets. The incident occurred in the seventh inning when Altuve was called out on what he argued was a foul ball off his foot. Despite the Astros' protests, the umpires, led by crew chief Alan Porter, upheld the decision, leading Altuve to throw his helmet and bat in frustration. The controversial call, which is not reviewable via video replay, left Altuve and manager Joe Espada visibly upset. Altuve's ejection took place with the Astros leading 4-2, although they eventually won the game 10-5. This marks Altuve's first ejection since 2016, highlighting his typically composed demeanor.
