In an unusual turn of events on Tuesday night, the Boston Red Sox found themselves in a predicament against the New York Mets after two ejections from their side. Starting pitcher Walker Buehler and manager Alex Cora were thrown out in the third inning due to disputes over balls and strikes with home plate umpire Mike Estabrook. This chaos unfolded after Buehler hit Francisco Lindor, who then proceeded to steal second base, prompting Buehler's complaints which ultimately led to both his and Cora's ejections.

Lindor later expressed no ill will towards Buehler, recognizing that his ejection benefitted the Mets. Cora had previously missed a game for his daughter's graduation, and this incident marked a significant setback for the Red Sox, who managed to win despite the ejections. Meanwhile, the Mets have now lost three consecutive games, trailing the Philadelphia Phillies by a narrow margin in the NL East.
