Alex Cora Ejected in Red Sox Doubleheader

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora was ejected in the first inning of Sunday's doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins after angrily disputing an interference call on infielder Vaughn Grissom. The call allowed Twins' Byron Buxton to advance to third base, prompting Cora to argue vehemently with the umpires on the field, resulting in his ejection. Despite his ejection, the Red Sox managed to prevent Buxton from scoring in the first inning and later scored three runs. This marked Cora's third ejection of the season. Cora's outburst reflects the high stakes for the Red Sox, who are striving to stay in playoff contention with only a few games remaining in the season.
