With one out, Decide took a full depend fastball from Tyler Holton that he thought was barely exterior. Blakney rang him up and Decide briefly glanced again.

After beginning to stroll again to the dugout, Decide returned to argue the decision after being tossed by Blakney. Supervisor Aaron Boone got here out of the dugout to debate the ejection with Blakney and was not tossed.
