Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss was ejected in the fifth inning Saturday against the New York Yankees after arguing a balk call on Chris Sale, per ESPN and MLB.com. Home plate umpire Dan Merzal made the call, which resulted in a run scoring for the Yankees, according to Sportsnet's reporting.
Sale, acquired by the Braves this offseason, was on the mound when the disputed play occurred. The exact circumstances of the balk call were not detailed in available reporting, though multiple outlets confirmed Weiss's ejection and that the run proved to be the go-ahead score.
