Red Sox Buehler,Cora Ejected During 2-0 Win Over Mets

During the Boston Red Sox's 2-0 win over the New York Mets, starting pitcher Walker Buehler and manager Alex Cora were ejected in the third inning following a disputed call by home plate umpire Mike Estabrook. The controversy began when Estabrook missed a clear strike call while catcher Carlos Narváez was attempting to throw out a baserunner, leading to Buehler's protest off the mound, which by rule prompted an immediate ejection. Estabrook's aggressive approach, including removing his mask and advancing toward Buehler before the protest, was widely criticized as unprofessional, prompting Cora to rush out and defend his pitcher, resulting in his own ejection. Despite the adversity, the Red Sox bullpen successfully navigated the remainder of the game to secure the victory. Buehler acknowledged his role in escalating the situation and expressed commitment to better composure, while Narváez highlighted the umpire's limited view due to his own movement on the field. The incident has sparked discussion about umpiring standards and the challenges of maintaining professionalism under pressure.
