Overview
- Boone was ejected by home-plate umpire Will Little after the eighth inning Thursday, following his push for an explanation of a balk called on pitcher Ryan Yarbrough.
- First-base umpire Ryan Additon had ruled Yarbrough balked on a two-out pickoff try, which advanced the runners before an intentional walk to Mike Trout and a Jo Adell grand slam.
- Boone said crew chief Lance Barksdale cut off his attempt to question Additon and described the crew as overly sensitive.
- The ejection was Boone’s 47th as a manager after leading the American League in ejections for five straight seasons, though it was his first of 2026.
- There was no indication of a league review or reversal of the balk, and the Angels finished off an 11-4 win.
